I'm throwing this out there in the hopes that someone knows the answer - there used to be a great place called 3B (funnily enough on 3rd St and Ave B) that had all you can eat crab, but I went there last summer only to find the place boarded up. Does anyone know if it relocated to some other neighborhood?
It was a fantastic joint - they wrapped the tables in butcher paper, gave you a roll of paper towels, a hammer and a bucket of Coronitas (baby Coronas) and the waiters just wander around with large bowls of crab (done 2 ways) which they dump right onto the table along with french fries and corn on the cob.

I don't know about NYC, but there are loads of them along the eastern seaboard. I've been to many along the Jersey and Maryland shores. I'm sure you could find them north also. Watch out for the spicy ones - you lose sensation in your lips and tongue, or they nearly catch fire. I think that's to weed out the big eaters. ;O

None in NYC that I know of, but a great cheap seafood place on LI- SouthShore Fish & Clams is known for their awesome twin lobster platters (21.95) and great half shells, etc.. def the fries/beer environment, but seriously good and simply prepared seafood.

I haven't been yet, but on Sunday and Monday nights during the summer The Hideaway does Maryland blue crabs, not all you can eat though.
