Bolt Bus Aims to Add Upper East Side Stop - DNAinfo.com
This is HUGE news for us bus folk that live on the UES. Well, I don’t live there anymore, but it beats that god-awful hike over to 34th and 8th.

Luke’s Lobster, UES
Oh lobster roll, where have you been all my life?
Juicy, cool, lightly-seasoned chunks of lobster meat. Perfect, buttery, crunchy-soft roll. Paul McCartney singing “Let It Be” on the sound system. That first bite at Luke’s was a very spiritual moment for me.
And in only one more bite, it was gone…because we SHARED one! Because we had had lunch or something right before. (As Fatty McFatties tend to do). Epic fail. It’s not a huge sandwich, and if I came hungry I could probably eat two (although my wallet probably wouldn’t allow it) so half of one was nowhere near enough.
Further example of God’s graces: an abandoned bag of salt and vinegar chips at our table. Yes, it was sealed. No, it wasn’t expired. Yes, I ate it. Hey, it was not enough food! Don’t judge me.
If the less expensive shrimp rolls are anywhere near half as good as the lobster roll, it would be a good buy, for sure. And if you say good buy, I say hello.
Insider tip: Their “lobster tracks” ice cream contains no traces or nuances of lobster whatsoever. I know, I was bummed too.
