Pretend the Hudson is the Chesapeake this weekend at the first Hammer & Claws Blue Crab Feast: This Maryland-style fest–all the crabs you can eat, plus all you can drink and live music–takes place at the Terminal Warehouse in Chelsea. The festival is sponsored by Josh Morgan of Choptank restaurant and Demanding Ventures, and a portion of the proceeds go to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
On Saturday and Sunday, September guests can attend either the first seating from 12 to 4pm or the second seating from 7 to 11 p.m. Tickets (available here) are $118 for adults, $45 for kids 6-12 and kids under 6 are free! Check out the menu below:
