About this festival

True.Ink Hosts First Annual Shipwreck Shebang- Fish the Shipwrecks off New York on Saturday, June 20, With Grand Central Oyster Bar's Executive Chef Sandy Ingber New York, June 11?Sandy Ingber, the seasoned skipper (executive chef) of the famed Grand Central Oyster Bar, is heading onto high seas and joining the editors of True.Ink, the new experience-based magazine, for an amazing summer night of chowder, oysters, wine, and other culinary delights for a select group on a fishing boat off the coast of New York on Saturday, June 20 from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. Along with serving up the famed chowder, a recipe that dates back to the birth of the historic restaurant in 1913, Ingber (a.k.a. Bishop of Bivalves) and the Oyster Bar-s champion Luis Iglesias will be shucking oysters, on the voyage departing from Pier I on Emmons Avenue in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, promptly at 4pm. Tickets are priced at $135 per person. To receive a $40 discount, sign up at True.Ink and use the discount code found on the site.

Those traveling with Ingber and first mates Gray and others from True.Ink will fish the shipwrecks off the coast, and work with experts to filet and dine on their own sushi. A curated selection of artisanal wines and other dinner and dessert pairings are also included as part of the package. "This isn-t your normal fishing trip,? said Geoffrey Gray, the founder and editor in chief of True. "When else can you eat your own sushi, devour Sandy-s famous clam chowder, and celebrate the beginning of summer on the New York on the water?" The fishing-dinner expedition will take place on Saturday, June 20th, from 4pm to 8pm in the afternoon, leaving from Pier 1 on Emmons Avenue, in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. Transportation from Manhattan to the fishing boat will be available. The New York coastline is a graveyard of sunken steamers, tugs, and battleships. True.Ink has secured a fishing vessel to fish the wrecks, planning a memorable evening and dinner onboard the S.S. True to celebrate the magazine-s pre-launch.
