Founded on Oyster Shells

FOUNDED ON OYSTER SHELLS is a fundraiser sponsored by the New Amsterdam Public Market Association. Proceeds will be applied towards holding a monthly purveyor's market in the City of New York, to commence in 2009. The monthly market will serve as the foundation for a permanent, year-round public market dedicated to supporting regional agriculture and food production.

Event goers will partake in East Coast oysters on the half-shell, served by expert shuckers; brewer's bread and butter; locally brewed stout and ale; fish chowder; baked winter beans; house-made pickles and kraut; and more, all sourced from the Region and prepared by excellent cooks.
