Flex Mussels...

Follow the motto on the menu: “Find the shortest, simplest way between Earth, the hands and the mouth.” And make your way uptown to my new Upper East Side favorite - Flex Mussels, inspired by Prince Edward Island locale. I personally have missed west coast Hog Island Oyster Depot in Point Reyes - a place where you could casually dine on salty oysters and fresh seafood at picnic tables on the water. Now this may not rival the outdoor scenery, but the taste is remarkable. Last night a dozen oysters and 2 buckets of mussels fed three to filling up! Try to save room for their delicious donuts with vanilla bean dipping sauce. Get there early, this place gets packed in a flash and don't forget to notice your waiters T's - "flexual healing" "metro flexual" and a number of other funny puns.
