I used to get steamed razor clams at WoHop, are there any other new/great spots to get steamed razor clams?

I've never been to the actual restaurant in New Orleans. I hope to one day. As a Brooklyn native, I read about some of the recipes and purchased a used version from
Thriftbooks. It's so very wonderfully written, the author lovingly describes his life up to and beyond running the restaurant and he pays homage to everyone, friends and family along the way. Thusfar, I've made the chickenfried steak, the gussied up peas and will be making the gas station tostadas with the doritos powder tonight. Anyway, highly recommend this cookbook as a delightful read in addition to a decadent, down to earth cookbook.

I just started using Pete's Pasta spaghetti and noticed that the cooking time recommended still left the spaghetti way too al dente. I tried several times and found that if you cook in in a large pot with a huge amount of salted water for about an hour, you should add more water if the pasta isn't submerged and then you'll get the right amount of al dente. Let me know if this helps, I've done it for the past few days and it's worked for carbonara, pasta limone and bolognese.
