Coming soon to Seventh Street: Luke's Lobster




On Seventh Street near First Avenue between the two Caracas Arepa Bar locations.

UPDATED: Oops, didn't realize that Grub Street reported on this a little earlier this afternoon... they have a lot more information on the owners, two former lobstermen.

Previously on EV Grieve:
Dead Lobster

  1. be still my heart! Lobster, in the hood. There's Ed's down in Soho, they have some slamming Lobster meatballs but there hasn't been a lobster joint in the EV for ages.

    I remember one, a million years ago, and by that I think I mean the 80's. It was lobster and corn on the cob and all casual. On Third Avenue, somewhere between 7th St and 14th Street. The 80's are a bit hazy....

  2. Thanks for the comment, thejodi. Did you every try Urban Lobster on Houston around the corner from A? My friend tried it once and spent a fortune...and he didn't care much for it...

  4. That place was the Lobster Pound, on 3rd at 10th Street, and it wss fantastic: fried whole-belly clams! Live lobsters!

    Anyway, I tried Luke's today and it was great. Claw and knuckle meat only, but top quality and a superb toasted roll. They'll be getting lobster tails, bisque,chowder and crab claws...hopefully fried clams too! Anyway, the place is killer good.
