The Native New Yorker: Luke's Lobster

Luke's Lobster has been highly praised as the creme deal creme of Lobster Rolls in Manhattan. The seafood eatery has over time grown to three store fronts throughout town churning out roll after roll daily. Unfortunately, like a child who learns that Santa is but a figmant of his imagination, the rolls are not as heavenly as they claim. While the lobster meat is plentiful and served cold with spices and a touch of mayo, the true downfall lies in the puny thin hot dog bun that tastes like garlic bread. Surprisingly, the New England Clam Chowder is the best dish served. Although the clam meat and potatoes are cut into minuscule chunks, the overall soup consistency and rich creamy taste stems true to what a traditional New England Clam Chowder should.
