Thrillist Empire Oyster will be a celebration of crazy oyster concoctions from 11 of NY’s top seafood chefs, unlimited – as in completely, unfathomably, gullet-stuffingly bottomless – oysters from a raw bar stocked with double-digit varieties, all sourced from the country’s top suppliers, free-flowing, frosty Modelo Especial cervezas and custom beer cocktails designed by a nautical mixologist to pair perfectly with all those oysters, live music all day, a chance to crown the city’s top mollusk master and so much more!

You’ll also have a chance to meet a cadre of ultra-passionate oyster farmers from across Long Island and New England, so you can ask questions about the weirdest things they’ve ever used to shuck a half-shell.
