A Dish Right Out of the ’70s Is an Early Bestseller at This UES Revival | Eater NY
"After the 2022 fire at Flex Mussels I watched Alexandra Shapiro rehab the original Flex space, and because a larger spot nearby freed up she was able to move Flex Mussels into that new location; remaining responsible for the original Flex storefront led her to reconsider the site, and its nostalgia (the family had run a restaurant at that location for over 20 years, and before Flex it was another family restaurant, Zocalo) helped prompt the decision to reopen Hoexters in the neighborhood." - Melissa McCart
