Crabwatch: Are Soft Shelled Crabs Back at Cafe Duke?

Last October, I was pretty excited to find soft shelled crabs on the by the pound buffet at Cafe Duke (on 51st btw. 6+7th).  Well, soft shelled crab season started up again last month, and Lunch’er “David” reports seeing them at the 41st and Broadway Cafe Duke yesterday.  I stopped by the 51st Street location today, and they were nowhere to be found.  Please report positive sightings in the comments below (preferably before lunchtime.)

    The Cafe Duke on 51st between 6th and 7th has soft-shelled crabs today. I got there late and they still had a lot of them left. I tried one. It’s different for a midtown deli and tasted okay. Not sure I’d go out of my way for it though.
