Luke's Lobster







Lobster rolls are one of my (many) favorite foods. This new (and very small) restaurant specializes in Maine lobster (supplied by the owner's father who is a lobsterman) in NYC's East Village at 93 East 7th Street.

They also serve crab and shrimp rolls. I couldn't decide so I had the "A Taste of Maine" sampler which included a small version (really, 1/2 rolls) of each: lobster, crab and shrimp rolls. They were out of empress crab claws so they knocked off a $1 from the usual $20 price and threw in a pickle and offered a hug (a literaly/physical hug from one of the employees which I declined). This combo also included a Miss Vickie's bag of potato chips and a soft drink.

A regular size lobster roll is $14.

Each roll is served on a expertly toasted warm and buttered roll. I liked the lobster roll with just a hint of mayo, but was also impressed with the crab roll and shrimp roll.
