Crayfish Festival
Aquavit

Swedes have been eating crayfish since the 16th century. But you don't have to be Swedish to celebrate Aquavit's annual Crayfish Festival, which kicks off today. Just show up at the restaurant and order a half pound of peel-and-eat crustaceans and smörgåsbord for $28 at lunch or $38 at dinner, and be Swedish for a few delightful hours.
