The real Ditch Plains is a popular surf spot out in Montauk. But in the West Village, on the corner of Bedford and Downing, there's a little fish restaurant with the same name. Sleek design, tall windows, and big comfortable wooden booths - Ditch Plains is a comfortable and casual place with a "NY fish shack" menu. Nothing fancy: lobster rolls, fish & chips, oysters, shrimp salad, clam chowder, fried clams, mussels, grilled fish of the day (artic char, snapper, etc.), and even a few comfort dishes: macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, and terrific french fries. My favorite dish is the fabulous spicy calamari salad, which comes as either an appetizer or entree. It's quite spicy, with crispy calamari over a bed of radicchio and romaine ($14/19). Ditch Plains also has a decent wine list at reasonable prices, available in half bottles or bottles only, and offers a good microbrew list. Open all day (and serving brunch) from 11am to 2am.
