Just got this enthusiastic note from the folks at Rosewater about a Crab Fest on July 10th at 7 p.m.

    In the Spring of  2007 we announced our first-ever Crab Feast. Our Maryland-born Chef then promptly decided to decamp to greener Connecticut pastures and suddenly the Boil was reduced to a slow simmer on the back burner. It’s a year later and, happily, another talented Maryland boy is manning the stove at RW – Chef Marcellus Coleman is champing at the bit to boil us up some Maryland Crab!

    We’re gonna cover the tables with tabloid newsprint, cover the upholstery, bust out the wooden mallets and dump some Old Bay Blues right there on the table – Chesapeake family style. Add pink wine, cold beer, cole slaw, fries and corn (if it’s good enough). You get the idea. Hard-shell Heaven. We’re expecting this to be so much fun that it will become an annual event!

    $68, all inclusive of tax and service. 718 783 3800. Tickets will likely go fast, so reserve asap.
