\"\"<\/a>After a little stroll around Chinatown my lady friend and I wandered down to New York\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s South Seaport.\u00c2\u00a0 After almost two years living in New York I made the trip for the first time.\u00c2\u00a0 Sitting on a bench at Pier 17, next to the water and the historic ships, in 90 degree heat gave us both a hunger for a little seafood.<\/p>\n

There were lots of restaurants around.\u00c2\u00a0 But they all looked out of the price range of two poor law students, like a dodgy chain, or both.\u00c2\u00a0 But even if we had the money, the upscale fair didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seem right.\u00c2\u00a0 We wanted the kind of simple seafood that goes great with a beer.\u00c2\u00a0 (Yes, Meg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Boston roots have affected this Midwest boy.)\u00c2\u00a0 With the help of Meg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s iPhone, we found what we were looking for\u00e2\u20ac\u201da dive bar with some fried clams on the menu\u00e2\u20ac\u201dJeremy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ale House.<\/p>\n

Jeremy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is the kind of place you can smell from the street, in a good way.\u00c2\u00a0 The smell of beer as you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re walking towards the door makes you look forward to the beer you are going to order all the more.\u00c2\u00a0 The design of the place is Spartan and darkly lit with a\"\"<\/a> simple cement floor.\u00c2\u00a0 Still, even though it was early, about 7 in the evening, you can tell the place can get rock\u00e2\u20ac\u2122n.\u00c2\u00a0 There are bras literally hanging from the ceiling which has writing from past visitors all over it.<\/p>\n

The beer comes one of two ways: small plastic cup or big styrofoam cup.<\/p>\n

The menu is simple, consisting most of baked and fried seafood and things that go great with baked and fried seafood (like french fries and onion rings).\u00c2\u00a0 We ordered baked clams (something neither of us had ever had), fried clams (which, to our surprise, came with French fries), and onion rings (no need for a parenthetical comment about these).<\/p>\n

The food was the cheap greasy seafood treat we had been hoping for.\u00c2\u00a0 The fried clams were crunchy and delicious.\u00c2\u00a0 The onion rings were those magic ones where you can take a bite without the onion slipping out.\u00c2\u00a0 The baked clams might have been more greasy than we were looking for, but with a little lemon and tartar sauce they were pretty tasty.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh, and the French fries.\u00c2\u00a0 Sometime I forget how much I love a simple french fry.\u00c2\u00a0 And all of the food was great with our beers (a big boy cup for me and little cup for Meg).<\/p>\n

Jeremy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s is a place I am definitely going to be heading back to when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on the hunt for good, simple, fried seafood.<\/p>\n
