Oysters in New York

As an interactive alternative to a stationary raw bar, Oysters XO equips its servers with buckets of oysters on ice hanging from their waists as they make their way through a crowd, shucking oysters on the spot. The servers also carry containers of various sauces, as well as buckets for empty shells. The oysters come from oyster farms on the East and West coasts.
