Exercise your Mussels.
A dinner for those fond of seafood and mussels. It is inspired by Flex Mussels a well-known mussels and oysters restaurant in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Everyone should eat more mussels. They are very nutritious, full of easy-to-absorb Heme Iron, Omega 3 and B12 vitamins, making them a superfood.
Arrive at 7pm for time to enjoy the farm and passed hors d’oeuvres. Once everyone arrives, guests will sit communally and food will be served family style to be passed and shared around the table.
We serve water and a chilled herbal tea. Please bring any additional beverages that you wish to enjoy (wine, beer, soda, etc…) We will provide the glassware.
