Gothamist simply adores New Orleans, but as tried and true New Yorkers, we know we could never live there full time. Sure, we're huge fans of overindulgence in every sense of the word, but after a week at Jazz Fest, gorging on beignets, fried oyster po boys, crawfish bread, and beer, we're ready for a detox week at the spa. So how can New Yorkers get a taste of the Big Easy without hopping on a plane? Enter Crawfish NY, brainchild of husband and wife team Chris and Lizzie Bicknell. Crawfish NY, which has catered many private parties in the past, recently opened themselves up to the public, throwing the first of what they hope to be an annual crawfish boil this past weekend at Harper Mansion in Gramercy.
