AYCE Mussles at BXL East

BXL East just opened in midtown on 51st and Lexington, close to home, and the place has a great deal on Sundays and Mondays... $20 All You Can Eat mussels, with a number of different varieties. A couple of us went this past Monday, enjoying a few Stella Artois and a mix of 5 lbs each (10 lbs total!) of these friendly marine bivalves, namely: Marinieres (white wine & onion broth), Provencale (tomato, basil & garlic), Grand Mere (cream, bacon & onions), Thailandaise (coconut milk, lemongrass and curry), and Marocaine (green olives, cilantro & tomato). Wasn't too packed and the service was very good. Rating: 3.5 out of 4 moules, with a few frites to boot.
