Flex Mussels – New York April 12, 2011  I was in New York City last week attending Canada Media Marketplace, an annual conference sponsored by the Canadian Tourism Commission that brings together North American media with Canadian tourism operators. An integral part of the event is the Northern Lights Awards (NLA), which celebrates excellence in travel journalism. I was fortunate to win my fourth NLA this year, second place in the photography category for the photo essay, “Winter Wonderland,” that appeared in the Dec/Jan 2011 issue of Coastal Living magazine.
You can’t go to New York without taking in the sights, which included concerts, galleries and a fantastic meal at the new Flex Mussels restaurant in the West Village. Flex features Prince Edward Island mussels served up in an amazing variety of ways. Keeping with the PEI theme the restaurant decor features artwork by PEI artist, Lindsay Walker, and photography by yours truly. The entire back wall of the restaurant features one of my images on a nineteen foot long backlit panel. Ten more of my photos grace the side walls of the room. It was wonderful having dinner in a busy New York restaurant surrounded by my own photography. Kudos to owners, Bobby and Laura Shapiro, for the great food and decor. flexmusselsny | |
