Oyster Takeover

Oyster House in Rittenhouse hosts an all-day takeover featuring a carefully selected six varieties of oysters from growers throughout the region, such as 40 North in Barnegat Bay and Sweet Amalia and Betsy’s Cape Shore Salts from Cape May. Here’s the real kicker: The restaurant also teamed up with Franklin Fountain to create an oyster-flavored ice cream made with 100 local oysters. The curious frozen treat will be served in a half shell and offered free to anyone who orders a dozen of the local oysters. For late-night eaters and bargain hunters, Oyster House’s regular Saturday buck-a-shuck happy hour still applies to the takeover. It goes from 9 to 11pm and features featuring $1 oysters, $3 shooters, $3 drafts and $5 punch.
