CRAB NIGHTS AT THE HIDEAWAY
For 12 years now, Maryland Blue Crab Nights at The Hideaway have been serving up summer tradition. The authentic Chesapeake-style crabs are served every Sunday and Monday, all summer long, at both the original Hideaway Tribeca (185 Duane) and The Hideaway Seaport (22 Peck Slip). Paired with a great selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, this experience is a must for first-timers and pros alike! Sponsored.
