Flex Mussels
Description
The popular Upper East Side seafood restaurant takes its menu of steamed mussels and other bivalves downtown. Twenty-three different preparations include a Mexican variety (mussels in chipotle broth, topped with chorizo and calamari) and a clams-casino–inspired rendition (sprinkled with chopped clams, bread crumbs and bacon). Also look for sake-and-oyster pairings, like briny beausoleils served with a crisp Ichishima Honjozo rice wine.
