"A restaurant known for its lobster rolls and other New England fare has closed after 13 years. 'We succumbed to the economy and the cost of doing business in this city,' Steven Costello, the co-owner of Lobster Joint, tells Greenpointers. The restaurant’s sales in the summer and winter had dipped, while food costs have shot up. Last fall, the New York Times covered how rising lobster prices were affecting local businesses. A natural wine bar called Bouquet has applied for a wine and beer license at the address." - Luke Fortney
