East Village, Manhattan · restaurant
New England seafood that took a wrong turn into the East Village and never looked back. Semi-subterranean, moody gray-and-blue, with wall sconces doubling as wine ice buckets. The lobster roll is made with lobster-shell butter and mayo, the Ben Affleck cocktail is a pumpkin spice latte for people who claim to hate pumpkin spice, and the Narragansett is still a flat $5.
Seaweed and fish sauce replace the traditional brine and olive.
Lobster poached in lobster-shell butter and mayo on a toasted Old Bay bun with half-sour pickles.
Sweet bourbon cream cocktail with coffee depth — pumpkin spice latte for the jet set.
Dark molasses rye sourdough with seaweed butter that tastes like the ocean. Order two.
