Ed's Lobster Bar

You may be a long way in distance (and price) from a roadside shack in Maine when dining at Ed’s Lobster Bar, but take a seat at the white marble counter and bite into Ed’s signature lobster roll (prepared cold with mayonnaise), and you might think that it’s the rocky Atlantic coast outside the window rather than bustling Lafayette Street. After you’ve tried the overstuffed lobster roll, if you still have room, try the oysters, raw or delicately fried. Or the fried Ipswich clams, or the steamers, or the chowder. Thankfully unpretentious, Ed’s is straight-ahead New England seafood served in a casual, laid-back dining room and whitewashed bar. They even have paper bibs, homemade pickles, and Belfast Bay Lobster Ale on tap. What more could you want in a seafood “shack” in New York City?
