$1 Oysters at Rialto

Here's a true pearl of wisdom (no pun intended--we promise) for the foodie and the luxury-lover alike. Rialto, Chef Jody Adams's swanky restaurant in the Charles Hotel, is now offering $1 oysters on Monday nights in the bar.

Oysters may not be FlyBy's favorite food--they can often be slimy, eel-like, and, well, eel-like. (Yeah. Like Flotsam and Jetsam in The Little Mermaid. Eeeew.) But, given the very reasonable price and a good excuse to enjoy an evening out at somewhere other than Oggi, the Upper Crust, or, God forbid, the Kong, FlyBy is willing to consider and give it a try.

More details after the jump.

Head down to one of Cambridge's nicest hotels this evening--and other Monday evenings--for your rare chance to find a sweet deal in this expensive part of town. According to the Rialto Website, Oyster service begins in the bar at 5:30 p.m. and continues until "the last oyster is shucked," whatever that means. Head on down!
