The word is out, our Shuck Yeah Monday Oyster and Martini special has become one of the hottest deals in town. With $1 oysters and $10 martinis all night long, Mondays have become one of our busiest nights of the week. So, our $1 oysters are available every Monday night *while supplies last,* and once we run out for the night, we’re out. The good news? The rest of our Monday lineup isn’t going anywhere. We’ll still have $10 martinis all night long, plus a $45 wine grab bag and 2lbs of mussels and fries for $24. Mondays never looked so good 🦪🍸✨

A few snippets from May’s Oyster Somm Social: Five Species Tasting! led us all through a tasting of all five species of oysters cultivated in North America, and he had to pull a lot of strings to pull this one off as not all of the oysters are in season at the moment. But he made it happen with a little help from a tip from to get Olympias from , and Belons from Lisa Prosper at who just happened to stop in for dinner the week before! It was a huge success and a super fun night, with beverage pairings and swag from too and tons of oyster knowledge! Thanks to for the video clips 🦪✨ We’re already counting down to our next Social in June, stay tuned for more details!

Get it on our brunch menu every weekend on the UWS or UES, or in slider form during dinner! Happy National Hamburger Day! 🍔
