Desnuda lives at 122 E. 7th Street between 1st and Avenue A.
Blink and you've passed it by. But if you happen to catch a glimpse, chances are you'll be enticed to take a further peek into the window.
They call it a "Winebar & Cevicheria". And yes, they do have wine and ceviche, but I think the oysters are what make this place really cool. I didn't think I liked oysters at all, but I kept eating these!
And, they're cheap. $1 each on Sundays from 2 to close and Mondays from 6 to close. I'm not making this up. There is a legitimate sign that says so hanging outside.
There are no tables at Desnuda, just a long bar, but it's still comfy. Don't expect a full meal, everything is tapas style. But the atmosphere is spot on. Cool music, but not too loud, interesting crowd, sexy decor, attentive staff, mood lighting, fans simultaneously flapping a gentle breeze and maybe best of all...
POPCORN. Which is also an aphrodisiac, I think.
