There's a new addition on New York's Hudson river — an oyster bar called Grand Banks is housed on the boat F/V Sherman Zwicker.
The F/V Sherman Zwicker was a mid-century cod fishing boat, which sailed in Nova Scotia or the Grand Banks area of New Foundland. It is now owned by the Maritime Foundation.
Below deck is an art exhibition that tells the history of the boat using archival photographs, artifacts from the ship, mixed with modern art. The exhibit was curated by the New Draft Collective.
The oyster bar and exhibit is opened from 4pm-11pm. The boat will be docked at pier 25 (N. Moore St. at West Street) until October.
