[UPDATE: Dollar oyster special not effect just now. See below.] Whilst lollygagging in Hayes Valley during a warm-ish afternoon in August, grab some oysters on the cheap. See, Boxing Room's Chef Justin Simoneaux will now offer $1 oysters Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Good place to grab lunch; great place it play hooky and get smashed on a glass of Avinyo Cava for just $5.00 or an Abita Amber, Jockamo, or Turbodog for another $5.

If oysters aren't your thing, you can grab cajun boiled peanuts, hushpuppies, crispy boudin balls, fried green tomatoes, and even deep-fried alligator to fill your sad, emaciated belly. Hayes Valley's cajun and creole jewel is located at 399 Grove, S.F., 415-430-6590.

Oh, and do remember that the $1 deal is weekdays only, 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Got it? Great.

Update: We regret to inform you that the $1 oyster special is not happening right now, but on August 20th. We deeply apologize to our readers who ventured into Boxing Room today for a deal only to be met with confused looks.
