"Summers are for lobster rolls, especially from the Brooklyn seafood restaurant. In addition to the ones available in the Connecticut and Maine styles, there is also a lobster BLT, fish and chips, fish sandwiches, lobster fries, shrimp citrus salad, and more." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Red Hook Lobster Pound does lobster rolls, and they do them big. They’ve got the classic Maine and Connecticut varieties, but also a lobster BLT, a California-style roll with cucumber and avocado, and, for the crustacean-curious, a fried lobster roll, with lobster caramel and kewpie mayo. This place gets bonus points for being in Red Hook, because if you want, you can take your roll to go and eat it on the pier. You probably shouldn’t swim in the water you’re looking at, but it almost feels like the lobster you’re eating came out of the ocean earlier this morning. Almost." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"You’re by the water, you’re very sweaty, and you may or may not have just ridden a Citi Bike over way too many cobblestones. It’s time for lobster. Red Hook Lobster Pound is the best option around, and they have a lot of seating inside a couple of big rooms that feel like dining in a dockyard, as well as a bunch of sidewalk tables. Pick up a buttery lobster roll for $39.50, or just go ahead and get a lobster dinner for $52." - willa moore, hannah albertine
"The flagship location has had an overhaul, reopening just in time for winter Restaurant Week. Weekday lunch is $30 per person and includes a first-course soup or salad, and a main course burger, fish-and-chips, tacos, or mussels. Weekday dinner is $45 per person and features a soup or salad starter, mains like a seafood boil or lobster roll, and desserts such as s’mores or Key lime pie." - Melissa McCart

"The lobster roll is the main draw here, but you should add a bowl of clam chowder if you’re hungry, or lobster mac and cheese if you’re really hungry." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
