Exterior of FKA: Formerly Known As bar at 221 2nd Avenue in the East Village, New York City, with the Good Clean Filth neon sign

Every day, they offer [East Coast] oysters for just $1, and it’s not the only good deal here. It’s nice to see a new spot, especially in this neighborhood, commit to more affordable prices.
