Summer bucket list: 8 Westchester lobster rolls you have to try before season ends
Ready to claw your way through a bucket list of lobster roll must-tries? Warm weather calls for simple pleasures like lightly-dressed claw and tail meat snugly nestled inside a well toasted buttery roll. And while this quintessential New England delicacy can't help but taste better by the ocean, Westchester eateries offer plenty that easily transport you to a beachside shack. Whether you like yours hot and buttered (Connecticut-style) or chilled-with-mayo (Maine), now's the time to celebrate this summery flavor. What follows are eight of my faves where every bite lets the lobster shine. Open since last October, this newcomer — which has both indoor and outdoor seating — serves the kind of lobster rolls dreams are made of in cold and warm versions. The buns are perfectly toasted, the seasoning is spot on, the lobster is impeccably cooked and there's a nice meat-to-bun ratio. Even better, during the week the rolls, which normally sell for $30.11, are often reduced to $20 (check their social media or call to double-check days available). This is also one of the only spots in the county where you can enjoy your lobster roll on a gluten-free bun. The seafood market, popular for its fresh fish and sushi, has a dedicated gluten-free fryer. For those who want to go big or go home, try the "Big Daddy," an overflowing sandwich stuffed with 12 ounces of meat ("normal" rolls are five ounces) on a 12 to 14-inch brioche bun. Wayne Ivines Jr., who owns the seafood market with his wife Becky Lusk, is also planning to get creative later this summer with, possibly, a Japanese-style lobster roll or some other other fun versions. "I need to play around with them first before selling them," he said. "But I'm definitely going to mix it up." 1137 West Boston Post Road, 914-662-0099, Choose between a warm buttery bun with hearty chunks of meat or chilled with light mayo and a splash of green onions with lemon on the side (and, often, a watermelon slice). Westchester County native and third-generation commercial fisherman Anthony DiMeglio fishes on Long Island's South Shore weekdays, securing fresh seafood that comes directly from what he catches. His store, which also have live lobsters, has a few outdoor seats though the place is mainly takeout. This is a nothing fancy spot but the rolls are A+, light and simple with gorgeous chunks of sweet meat that tastes like they were plucked from the water just hours ago, which, in many cases, they were. 26 Main St, Dobbs Ferry, 914-625-8402, Summer eats: Our food reporter's picks include Lower Hudson Valley's best lobster and more This dense lobster roll, served cold with tarragon aioli and a few secret ingredients, is pure wow, thanks in part to its generous portion and view of the Hudson. Also, who can resist an alfresco bar that at one point was a sea-worthy sailboat? The restaurant, with a nautical theme, also has a winter Connecticut-style roll starting late fall to early spring served on a buttered toasted bun with a warm brandy butter sauce. 46 Westerly Road, 914-923-6466, "Tastes like vacation" is the motto at Bread & Brine, which has a coastal New England vibe and lots of lobster choices. Aside from a lobster roll — served cold with mayo and scallions or hot with butter and scallions — you can opt for a lobster BLAT (chilled lobster, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, mayo, white toast), a lobster grilled cheese (with 1/4 pound of lobster meat, cheddar white and toast) or lobster mac and cheese. Another bonus? Gluten-free buns — and a lunch discount. Lobster rolls, normally $30, are $20.24 from noon to 3 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday's. 19 Main St, Hastings-On-Hudson, 914-479-5243, This buttery brioche roll, piled high with lobster meat and lightly adorned with herbs and lemon zest, elevates what's normally a simple sandwich to star status. Taking it up a notch? The word KEE artfully imprinted on the bun and house made Old Bay chips. No surprise this was a "This was a "Best Thing I Ate" pick in 2023. 126-128 E. Post Road, 914-437-8535, Impeccably cooked meat is the "secret sauce" at both Farmer and the Fish locations where buttery buns hold their own against tender tail, knuckle and claw meat. Options include "warm and buttered" or "cool" with "cucs" and lemon aioli. At the Sleepy Hollow location, there's the added plus of a river view so your meal comes with a complimentary breeze and the kind of waterfront vista that true lobster-roll eating is all about. 100 Titicus Road, North Salem, 914-617-8380 or 11 River St., Sleepy Hollow, 914-631-8380, Catch of the century: See which Carmel supermarket net a rare golden lobster This is the closest you may get to a seaside shanty and that's OK because the no-frills takeout stand offers picnic-perfect lobster rolls brimming with fresh chunks of heavenly meat — with a bag of chips — ideal for taking to a patch of greenery or sitting on a bench. Prefer a whole lobster? Come on Thursday starting at 5 p.m. for a $45 deal of New England clam chowder (or Caesar salad) and a 2 1/2 pound lobster with corn on the cob, cole slaw and coffee. 110 Halstead Ave., The buttery griddled roll, heaped with plump, super-fresh lobster, makes the Connecticut roll at this low-key neighborhood spot a favorite, especially when eaten in their breezy outdoor terrace. Also a contender: the Maine lobster roll drizzled with Old Bay mayo. 413 Midland Ave., 914-967-0868, Want more details on dining in the lower Hudson Valley?

Hamptons Pop-Ups Bring The East End To Manhattan This Summer
The Mark Clam Bar offers lobster rolls, fries, and plenty of upscale beachy treats Instead of schlepping all the way out to Long Island, New Yorkers can get a taste of the South Fork without leaving the five boroughs. Several Manhattan restaurants are hosting Hamptons pop-ups this summer, offering a taste of the beach on the city grid. In Tribeca, LDV Hospitality's American Cut has partnered with Amagansett's LUNCH Lobster Roll. Now through Labor Day, patrons will see the iconic 1965 era red, white, and blue LUNCH sign beckoning them into the contemporary downtown steakhouse for a selection of seasonal dishes. A special Hamptons Meal ($28), served from 5-7 p.m. in the American Cut bar, lounge, and outdoor dining area includes two mini lobster sliders, a choice of caesar salad or truffle Fries, plus a gin or vodka martini. In the main dining room, the classic full sized LUNCH lobster roll ($36) will be served this summer. The Hamptons Meal at American Cut in Tribeca 'We're thrilled to partner with American Cut to bring the spirit of summer in the Hamptons to Tribeca,' says Andrea Anthony, president of Lobster Roll Inc, which operates LUNCH. 'This collaboration captures the essence of coastal indulgence with a city edge.' Those eager for the weekend to come faster can also take advantage of a LUNCH partnership with a popular fast casual salad chain, Chopt Creative Salad Co. The Lobster Caesar Salad at Chopt Every Thursday this summer, starting June 5, Chopt is offering a special Lobster Roll Caesar Salad. Topped with a 4 oz scoop of LUNCH's signature lobster salad, the customizable bowl is built on chopped green kale and romaine, and tossed with aged parmesan and croutons, plus caesar dressing. A toasted bun is served on the side for a fully beachy effect. The special salad will only be available in-store at the following Manhattan Chopt locations: Astor Place, 17th Street, Penn Station, The Upper East Side at 78th and 3rd. It will also be served in Roslyn Heights, for those making the trek Out East on a Thursday. Uptown, Madison Ave. meets the beach. On the Upper East Side, The Mark Hotel is offering a special pop-up, The Mark Clam Bar. Bright red signage emulates The Clam Bar at Napeague in Amagansett, but this version on city sidewalks is a collaboration by Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspia, open from noon to 10 p.m. daily. The Mark Clam Bar on Madison Avenue The Mark Clam Bar is a beachside seafood shack melding American summer classics with sophisticated uptown dining.
