"Want a lobster roll in this part of town? This stand in Exchange Hall is the place to go — the only place to go. It offers them in Connecticut and Maine styles, plus a lobster grinder and a secret menu Ultimate Roll that has avocado and shrimp on top. There are also garlic lobster fries, dynamite shrimp, fish and chips, variations on fish tacos, and more. It is in a food hall, so the vibes are what they are, but there are outdoor dining areas. There is no dedicated parking area for Exchange Hall, so plan to park in a paid lot nearby or luck into some street parking." - Courtney E. Smith
