Grand Banks

on a pier in tribeca, grand banks presents a schooner as a stage for consuming oysters. the boat, historic as it may be, mostly just floats there, a novelty for those who appreciate eating shellfish on something that moves ever so slightly. it’s a curious commitment to maritime dining, a floating platform for what could easily be done on solid ground. one could go when the late afternoon sun glints off the water, creating a specific kind of glare.
