First annual Downtown Baltimore oyster week

Sixteen restaurants will participate in the inaugural Downtown Baltimore Oyster Week, which will run from Monday, October 18 through Sunday, October 24. The Downtown Partnership is spearheading and organizing the promotion.

Total bonus: participating restaurants will be collaborating with the Oyster Recovery Partnership on collecting shells for recycling and raising awareness about the restoration of Maryland's oyster population.

I'll let you know when I know who's serving what.
