A Look At Luke's Lobster's UES Expansion, Opening Today

[Horine, 5/26/10]

Tonight at 6 PM, the Upper East Side will get a taste of what East Villagers have been going nuts over for the past 10 months. Luke's Lobster, the tiny lobster roll shack helmed by a 26 year-old former banker, expands to a larger space, the former Etats Unis space, on East 81st Street. They'll offer more room for seating and a slightly extended menu. It includes rolls, tails, claws, chowders, and bisques, and soon enough fries, fried shrimp, clam bellies, and wine and beer.
