Red Hook Lobster Pound in the works for Extra Place



The highly regarded Red Hook Lobster Pound has plans to take over the recently vacated Oaxaca Taqueria space at 16 Extra Place. (Oaxaca Taqueria moved to East Seventh Street.)

According to documents on file ahead of next Monday's CB3/SLA committee meeting, Red Hook Lobster Pound, who is seeking a beer-wine license, will operate a quick-service restaurant here in the former alley behind CBGB ... with proposed hours of 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday-Thursday; until 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.

You can currently find the traditional Maine lobster rolls and chowders from the husband-and-wife team of Ralph Gorham and Susan Povich out on Van Brunt in Red Hook ... or in their food truck, Big Red, among other various Brooklyn flea markets.

With this and whatever Momofuku is opening down the alley/Place, Extra Place may finally become the dining destination its developers touted some six years ago.

Yes, where all the pretentious can all hang-out along with the momofukers. They need to extra barbed wire that place when they open to corral those mindless narcissistic vapid sheeples.
