Mermaid Inn Set To Bring Tasty Seafood To Chelsea

CHELSEA, NY — The Mermaid Inn restaurant is swimming to new shores this fall, as the popular seafood establishment is set to open a new location in Chelsea, the eatery said on Instagram.

Its fourth location will be at 227 Tenth Avenue, near 24th Street, in the building that formerly housed the popular Red Cat restaurant, which closed at the end of 2018, Eater New York reported.

Chelsea neighbors who were fans of the Red Cat should be happy to know that one of the owners of the Mermaid Inn, Danny Abrams, was also an original co-owner of Red Cat, according to Eater.

The Chelsea eatery will represent the third Mermaid Inn in the city, with the other two locations on the Upper West Side and in the East Village. An offshoot of the eatery, Mermaid Oyster Bar, is located in Greenwich Village.

Mermaid Inn is a laid back spot known for its great happy hour deals and well-executed renditions of New England clam chowder, oysters, lobster rolls and fish tacos, according to Eater.

It's also an underrated spot for brunch, as the restaurant has its own special menu for the meal.

It is unclear when the Chelsea location will open. Mermaid Inn did not immediately respond to questions.
