Mar’s

A raw bar has run out of this modest storefront on 34th Avenue in Astoria for over a decade, built around a plateau of oysters, littleneck and cherrystone clams, mussels and shrimp meant for sharing. The rest of the menu drifts toward brasserie standards: duck confit with butternut squash, pappardelle with burrata, mussels and toast at the bar. Happy hour runs Wednesday through Sunday from 4 to 6, with oysters and cocktails at a discount, and Sunday brings a Greek-inflected brunch with strapatsada alongside the eggs benedict.
