A SHUCK IT! INSTITUTION · NEW YORK CITY
600Oyster Club.
Good oysters.
Great company. One dollar.
AN OLD NEW YORK APPETITE
“Around 1900, New Yorkers reportedly ate about 600 oysters a year. Nearly a dozen a week.”
Historical inspiration, paraphrased from Rob Lukens / PA Eats ↗ and Discovering NYC ↗.
A dozen a week is 624 a year. Six hundred is the rounded idea behind the club—a New York pleasure worth making time for.
THE COMPANY WE KEEP
An old New York appetite.
A standing invitation.
The 600 Oyster Club belongs to the pleasure of making an occasion of a dozen oysters: finding a table, bringing a friend, and letting the conversation take its time.
Our name remembers the city’s remarkable oyster appetite. Our present concern is simpler: good oysters, great company, and an excuse to gather.
