Can anyone recommend some good moules frites in east village?

Le Sans Culotte - all the charcuterie, pate and crudite you can eat, then some truly fine mussels, followed by creme brulee or mousse - prixe fixe (last I saw, about $25!).

AND you can usually get gift certificates on Restaurant.com for at least half off. . .

flex mussels cooks them in 23 different sauces. Plus its the only restaurant i have been to lately where the mussels dont have that funky taste and smell. Their mussels are plump and really nice. I returned mussels at resto and pearl oyster bar because they smelled rotten. I think flex are the best mussels ive had in NY

petite abeille - mult locations, not sure if one of them is on the UES or not.

Jubilee on 54th between 1st and 2nd has some of the best mussels around, in my opinion. The rest of the menu is excellent as well.

I'm not sure if that's UES enough for you.

It's been a long time since I've been to Jubilee, but remember it being good. I also like the Moules Frites that I had one time at Cafe B. You might also check Brasserie Julien to see if they have them.

If you want to venture out to Long Island, Garden City specifically, Waterzooi has great mussels and frites.
