Krewe Eyewear’s Celebratory “Krawfish” Boil in Support of Cancer Research

Channeling the New Orleans origins of Krewe founder Stirling Barrett, the independent eyewear brand hosted a third annual “Krawfish” boil in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. On Gansevoort St, in front of the Krewe flagship, hundreds of celebrants gathered to delight in live jazz music, drag performances, a flash tattoo bar, and more than 2,000 pounds of Louisiana crawfish. This typically Southern shellfish was served alongside fried chicken, oysters from Fish Cheeks, Michelada cocktails infused with New Orleans’ own Crystal Hot Sauce, and a selection of natural wines. Through the brand’s nonprofit division, The Krewe Foundation, a portion of all ticket sales went to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in support of research and care. Guests included Chané Husselmann, Jervaris Hendrix, Greivy, BeauJangless, Karina Ruiz, Jillian Bruno, Hope Berry, Rachel Staehling, Rickie Ashman, and more.
