3 Fun Place to Try This Weekend: June 21 | Eater NY
"If I'm heading down Cross Bay Boulevard toward the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge or Rockaway Beach, I stop at Lenny's Clam Bar for a bowl of its famous lobster bisque or a plate of locally sourced clams casino dotted with bacon, red bell peppers, and Parmesan. Founded in 1974 on Shellbank Basin by immigrants from Apulia, it remains one of the city's few clam bars, offering every bivalve variation imaginable as well as raw oysters, pastas, and seafood stews; the towering space is lined with signed photos of celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Alec Baldwin, and Andre the Giant." - Eater Staff
