Experience the world of oysters in NYC’s vibrant hospitality scene with the Billion Oyster Project.
About this Event
A Billion Oyster Social is the perfect gathering for oyster enthusiasts, whisky lovers, restaurant fanatics, and those interested in contributing to something unique. Join us for our next intimate cocktail and oyster tasting event featuring a custom menu crafted by Grey Lady on the Lower East Side.
The tasting includes a half-dozen local oysters from our Shell Collection Program Operator, The Lobster Place, prepared in three different ways, and paired with a dram or signature cocktail from Talisker Whisky, our leading Shell Collection Program sponsor.
Throughout the evening, a Talisker Whisky expert will discuss the pairings, while a BOP representative will discuss the oyster’s historical and ecological role in New York City. Guests will also hear an overview of Billion Oyster Project's recent work and find new ways to get involved on the waterfront in 2022.
About Grey Lady
Grey Lady is a valued partner of Billion Oyster Project's Shell Collection Program. Grey Lady donates its oyster shells every day to Billion Oyster Project in support of our mission to restore live oyster reefs to New York Harbor. After being prepared for reuse, recycled oyster shells become a home for young oysters, or spat, in NY Harbor.
About The Lobster Place
The Lobster Place is a wholesale seafood company located in the Bronx and is the operator of Billion Oyster Project’s Shell Collection Program. With their help, we collect thousands of pounds of oyster, clam, and scallop shells from dozens of restaurants in New York City. They are dedicated to being a positive force in the industry and the local community. Their business practices focus on taking care of people, minimizing their impact on the environment, and supporting waterway restoration locally and nationally.
About Talisker Whisky
Talisker is a renowned Single Malt Scotch Whisky made by the sea on the shores of the Isle of Skye, one of the most remote, rugged, yet beautiful landscapes in Scotland. Few whiskies tell the story of their origin better than Talisker. Its smell and taste instantly connect the drinker with the rugged environment – like a warm welcome from a wild sea. The Talisker Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery is perched between the sea and The Oyster Shed, which serves freshly harvested oysters for the perfect pair-up right at the source.
