If you missed the crab feast at Cafe Ghia in Bushwick last night, don’t worry — there’s still a chance to get crackin’, and oh what a chance it is: East Village farm-to-table fixture Back Forty is taking its Tuesday night crab boils to Rockaway this Saturday and then again on Aug. 31. Starting at 3 p.m. at Low Tide Bar (at Beach 96th Street and the water), $25 gets you a bucket of spiced blue crabs, corn on the cob and steamed potatoes (or it’s $15 for a half-size bucket).
And if you need more reason than that to head to the beach tomorrow, it’s the second annual mud wrestling party at Surf Club. Last year’s throwdown was so wild it ended up in the New Yorker (which, okay, is not greatest indicator of something being wild, but still: a sportswoman by the name of China Vagina will be there). The madness (mud-ness?) starts at 5 p.m.
