New York City Oyster Festival

Via MUG, New York City Oyster Festival
"To celebrate the time when New York was the capital of the booming northeastern oyster industry …
wealthy merchants built elegant rowhouses like the Merchant’s House … and oyster bars lined
the streets of Lower Manhattan."
Saturday, October 4 from noon-9pm
Hanover Square and Stone Street
Oysters and Guinness, a shucking competition at 2pm, and live music

See today's MUG for a list of places to eat oysters (WD-50, Crudo, Pearl Oyster Bar, Mary's Fish Camp, and opening tomorrow Jack's Luxury Oyster Bar).
