The method

Every deal on the board passes a check before it goes live: an editor calls, visits or reads the chalkboard, or our reader checks the price and hours against the bar’s own website, word for word. Every deal shows when it was last confirmed; past 30 days it is marked stale and drops in every list until someone re-checks it. How we check

This edition’s rules:

A bar counts once, at its lowest oyster price, the way the short list counts it.
Oysters by the piece only: a dozen, a half dozen, a platter or a plate with a stated count is left out.
A single fixed price only; a range is left out.
Only prices with a check date. A listing never checked is left out of every number here.
The headline numbers count checks within the last 30 days; the second line under each counts every checked price.
