SHELL ON EARTH: The Ace Hotel is sexy. You are sexy. And a raw bar bargain (a raw bargain? hmm) is just icing on the cake. Park yourself at the newly-opened John Dory Oyster Bar and order up a half-dozen oysters or clams plus a glass of bubbly wine or a can of Snapperhead Ale for a paltry $15. This Oyster Happy Hour goes down between 5 and 7PM (or midnight and 2AM, you nighthawk) Monday through Saturday. Love. The John Dory Oyster Bar, Broadway at 29th Street; 212.792.9000.
