Since most restaurants have chintzy tools, when eating out in NYC I'd bring my own Zyliss cracker and a Global seafood pick -the best ones out there. However, if you don't want to drop the $$$ for the Global, then Zyliss makes a decent set of picks. When looking at picks, the most important part is the "claw". Too many brands are virtually flat & uselessYou'll find that picks are only minimally useful on lobster, but they're essential for King/Snow Crab, and even Maryland crab.
The Zyliss cracker is lightweight, easy to use with buttery hands, and with it's red color, it's easy to find at an outdoor picnic. Be careful of most crackers as many are either useless or difficult to use. One that particularly comes to mind is a stupid design in the shape of a lobster claw. Sure, it's really cute...until you actually try to use them, which when you find out they cut into your hands at the slightest pressure. Read my review under Zyliss.
