"What makes a crab feast so fun? Eating with your hands? Rubbing shoulders with friends and strangers? Hammering to get to the biggest piece of jumbo lump? It's primitive all right. It's what the Chesapeake is all about."
- Nancy Hammond, Maryland Artist

The 1st annual Hammer & Claws Blue Crab Feast invaded NYC in 2011, and brought the taste of the Chesapeake Bay to the Big Apple. New York loved it, and from now on, the Feast will take place annually - always on the weekend after Labor Day. So keep your calendars clear and always know that you're end of the season Blue Crab cravings will be satisfied. Hammer & Claws is brought to you by Joshua Morgan, a Maryland native and the founder/owner of Choptank Restaurant - New York's first authentic Maryland inspired restaurant. This event is a truly authentic crab feast, exactly like those seen throughout Maryland during the summer crab season. Every year, New Yorkers will be able to experience this quintessential Maryland tradition. No summer should end without a crab feast. The Feast will take place in the historic Tunnel Space of the Terminal Stores building in Chelsea, on 11th Ave, between 27th and 28th. The large, expansive venue is the perfect spot for an indoor crab feast, and it offers guests a fun and unique dining experience. Our live, cooked-on-site, Maryland blue crabs take center stage, and are complimented by classic items like hotdogs, traditional sides, coleslaw, potatoes, and corn on the cob. And don't forget that no Feast is complete without lots of cold beer. Remember, our Feasts are All-Inclusive, so be prepared for unlimited crab picking, claw cracking and lots of beer drinking. See you at the next Feast! Hammer & Claws Blue Crab Feast supports the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's (CBF) mission is to Save the Bay and its tributary rivers, broadly recognized as a national treasure. The Chesapeake Bay system serves as a valuable habitat for both terrestrial and aquatic life. A portion of the proceeds from the Hammer & Claws Blue Crab Feast will be donated to the CBF to help the foundation in their continuing efforts of restoring and protecting the Chesapeake Bay.
