The last time we went to Luke’s Lobster truck,  it was the middle of winter, and we had a shrimp roll and clam chowder to warm up.  Now in the middle of summer, we needed something to cool us off.

Since we had a shrimp roll last time, and lobster rolls are more common than ever around these parts, so we went for a crab roll. This cost $11, which is $1 more than when we were at the truck in February. The lobster roll for $15 and shrimp roll for $8 were unchanged in price.

The temperature was cold again, so I decided to hit up Luke’s Lobster for some clam chowder.  Since that wasn’t going to be enough for me for lunch, I also got a shrimp roll, which I’ve never tried from Luke’s.  I’ve had their lobster roll and crab roll before, which were both excellent, but not the shrimp roll yet.  That was about to change.

With the cold weather arriving, some of the vendors are adjusting their menus for the fall and winter.

Coolhaus now has artisanal hot chocolate and Schnitzel & Things announced they will soon be selling schweinebraten, a good cold weather pork shoulder dish.

Luke’s Lobster is serving New England clam chowder, and Red Hook Lobster Pound is serving New England clam chowder, corn chowder and downeast bisque.

Let’s get busy – It’s Chowda Time (and Bisque Too).

We checked out Luke’s Lobster the first day it was on the street, May 10th, and had one of their delicious lobster rolls for our NYSF First Look.

It was time to try something else on  their menu, which begged the eternal question – if not lobster, then shrimp or crab?

Since shrimp is more common around here, Today’s Lunch is a crab roll ($10) from Luke’s Lobster.

Yesterday Luke’s Lobster tweeted “Did you see our music video?? We’re opening in FiDi on Friday!! http://bit.ly/kDxNS7.”

After opening their first storefront in the East Village in Oct 2009, one on the Upper East Side in May 2010, the Upper West Side in Dec 2010, a lobster truck on May 8th, and a new place in Washington DC last week, this Friday they are opening a new place at 26 S. William St, near Broad St. in the Financial District.

Wow, these guys must be working 27 hours a day.  And shooting music videos too!
