About
Flex Mussels started on Prince Edward Island in 2004 before opening its first New York location on the Upper East Side in 2008. This Chelsea outpost carries that coastal sensibility into an upscale setting with outdoor seating and a full bar. The menu offers ten different mussel preparations, from classic wine and garlic to more inventive fusions. There's also a dedicated 'not mussels' section with dishes like mac and cheese and fish tacos.
Reservations are accepted and recommended, especially on weekends when the restaurant is open from 11am. The crowd is a mix of gay and straight diners, drawn by the reliable quality and neighborhood vibe. If you're exploring Chelsea, a walk over to the High Line pairs well with a meal here.
