Luke's Lobster- NYC

A haven for seafood lovers, this unassuming shop in NYC is my new favourite food-on-the-go stop. (well, it would be if I lived in NYC) Follow the jump for more saliva-inducing pictures...

We ordered the Noah's Ark- a cornucopia of succulent seafood in soft rolls. 

Crab, prawn...and of course, lobster. I don't usually like lobster, but the freshness and moist meaty texture completely converted me. The mayonnaise and lemon butter didn't obstruct this flavour but complemented it beautifully, and you can always have it without the sauce (although you'd be missing out!)

Garnished with a tangy crunchy pickle. Worked surprisingly well with the seafood rolls!

A light juicy seafood roll with a bag of crisps and a jam jar of iced water = simplistic bliss. They also do a fantastic clam chowder- the soup is beautifully rustic, chunky and filling but without an overwhelming seafood aftertaste which you get with some. 

If that doesn't persuade you to go and check this lovely place out, I don't know what will. They have branches all over NYC and in DC so there is no excuse!

5/5
