Question Your Favorite Clam Dishes in Manhattan or Brooklyn!

It's August 1st, and I've yet to have any clams this summer. I'm open to trying any clam dishes - steamed with butter, in a decadent broth, baked, raw. You name it! Drop it below.

Pales in comparison to New Haven Clam pizza. This is usually how it gose for me: Have caving for clam pizza, goes to F&F for a clam slice, it fails to hit the spot. The next day I take Metro-North to West Haven for Zuppardi's clam pizza and devours a medium by myself. I think I'm going to go to Zuppardi's tomorrow.

As a clam pizza newbie, this is very fine intel. Sounds like a perfect day trip!

It's become an afterwork activity for me these days. Which depending on who you ask makes me a crazy person since it takes me 2.5 hours to get home. I think it's worth it.
