Antidote for the Winter Blues.

Luke's Lobster.  426 Amsterdam Avenue (82nd/81st Streets).  2/2/13.

Nothing reminds me of summer more than a fresh lobster roll.  Thankfully, Luke's Lobster does not close for the winter.

The lobster rolls are generous, the Cape Cod Chips potato-ey, and the Maine Root Ginger Beer tangy.  Today's lobster roll was full of claw meat, drizzled with butter and nicely peppered.  The New England-style hot dog bun was lightly toasted.  A half-sour pickle spear, served on the side, was crunchy, and provided a nice textural contrast.  For heat seekers there are squeeze bottles of Red Rooster Sriracha sauce on every countertop.

The "fish shack"decor seems to bring out a relaxed, 'it's summer" attitude, that leads to amiable table sharing at this limited seating spot.
