Luke’s Lobster FiDi Location Set To Reopen Three Months After Hurricane

I don’t know about you all, but winter just hasn’t been the same without some clam chowder or lobster bisque from Luke’s Lobster. The location on S. William St. (nr. Broad) has been shuttered since hurricane Sandy and word on the street is that they will reopen on Thursday with some cheap beer on hand, and you can then pop in for lunch on Friday and beyond. I guess it’s also just in time for Lent, if you’re steering clear of meat on Fridays.

New Amsterdam Market Bringing Vendors To Us Mid-Week

Some of you may be familiar with the New Amsterdam Market which brings together different vendors selling food and other items on Sundays underneath the overpass on South St. by the Seaport. You’ll be happy to hear that this Thursday some of the food vendors are doing a special lunch at the Pier 16 Marginal Wharf (that’s at South St. & Fulton) from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. that involves some places we would normally have to take the subway to enjoy. If you’ve ever thought how awesome it would be to have lunch involving Porchetta, Lonestar Tacos, Black Tree Sandwich, People’s Pops, La Newyorkina or Luke’s Lobster in one convenient location now’s your chance. P&H Sodas and Pushcart Coffee will also be on hand for your beverage needs.

My Favorite Roll At Luke’s Lobster Is Also The Cheapest

With warm weather making guest appearances off and on lately, I’ve had lobster rolls on the brain and we are lucky to have more than one option for those in the Financial District. A few weeks ago I attended the Village Voice’s Choice Eats event and eating shrimp rolls from Luke’s Lobster and Red Hook Lobster Pound reminded me that these things are delicious and also, why have I not written about the one from Luke’s on this on the site yet? Also a fact: Luke’s Lobster’s shrimp roll is the only non-soup item on the menu for less than $10. Read more »

Thinking Outside The Bun With Luke’s Lobster’s Chowders

Summer is the ideal time to enjoy a lobster (or shrimp or crab) roll from Luke’s Lobster on S. William (at Broad) although really you can’t go wrong with one in the colder months either. No matter how much we try to deny it, freezing cold is on its way and with that comes soup weather. A little bit lost amid all of the seafood stuffed into hot dog rolls is the chowder and bisque section of Luke’s’ menu. It’s a good way to enjoy some seafood without breaking your lunch budget.

Luke’s Lobster May Not Have The Cheapest Lunch, But Damn Is It Good

It’s not every day that we fully endorse shelling out $17 (plus tax) for a lunch that may or may not fill you up, but if you like seafood-filled buttered hot dog buns at all you’re going to want to check out Luke’s Lobster. The shop opened on S. William St. (btw. Hanover Sq. & Broad) on Friday, joining two other locations in the city and the just-launched truck. Brian had absolutely raved about the lunch he had when the truck stopped in midtown, so I was excited.

There was a line when I got there for a later lunch but it had mostly died down by 2 p.m. It helped that they have a lobster roll express window where they only sell that one item. For everything else you have to step inside the small nautical themed shop, and that’s what me and a co-luncher did. Plenty of butter and seafood-straight ahead… Read more »

Reminder (Not That You Need One): Luke’s Lobster Opens Today

I really think more lunch places should open on a Friday when you maybe have a little more leeway to wait in massive lines for things like Shack Burgers or lobster rolls. Luke’s Lobster opens the doors today at 10:30 a.m. on S. William St. (btw. Hanover Sq. & Broad). It sounds like there’s plenty of indoor seating, and the genius idea of a lobster roll express window for those who don’t want to leave the balmy heat or open a door. It might be best to block out a little more time for lunch today because you know the Wall St. crowd is going to be all over this.

Luke’s Lobster Serving Food At The End Of The Week

The guys at the helm of Luke’s Lobster have had a busy May launching a truck and opening a store in Washington D.C., and they’re about to make the Financial District a little more lunchable. According to a Twitter post yesterday, the new shop on S. William (btw. Hanover Sq. & Broad) is opening on Friday! The truck hasn’t really ventured down to us but hey, we get a store that won’t just be here one day a week so no complaints here! Menu straight ahead. Read more »
