Show Me a Sign: ZZ's Clam Bar

The Lobster Club was included in our Taste of Tastes to Come roundup we posted back in September. It was going to be the first of two new projects from Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi and was originally slated to open before their fun, fancy, fine-dining, and critically acclaimed Carbone. The Lobster Club was going to be a casual, Italian American-Inspired sandwich shop themed after the succes of the triple-decker sandwich the duo serves at Parm. But plans have changed, signage has gone up, and the team behind three of the city's hottest Italian restaurants is opening ZZ's Clam Bar tomorrow at 169 Thompson Street.
ZZ's Clam Bar is going to be a 12-seat cocktail and raw bar serving a variety of oysters and, as Jeff Zalaznick (Torrisi and Carbone's business partner) told Florence Fabricant, "15 beautiful crudos." Fabricant also notes "ZZ is Zalaznick's nickname." ZZ's will be open Tuesday through Saturday for dinner only.
