Urban Lobster Shack
805 3^rd Ave (at 49^th)
Time: All the time
Price: lobster roll, coleslaw and salad, $10

Urban Lobster Shack is located in a secret underground food-court.   It’s sort of a lunch-speakeasy for people who have boring office jobs in midtown.   When you enter the discreet office building location, a security guard gives you the evil eye as you turn left and go down an escalator into the seedy underbelly of Manhattan.  The “Shack” is less of a shack, and more of a kiosk that could easily be converted to hawk bedazzled cell phone cases during other business hours.  The lobster roll is tasty, although it fills you up only about as much as a hotdog (coulda eaten 3 of ‘em). The side salad and a mini-cup of coleslaw are fine too, but don’t do much to curb that terrible hunger that is slowly, minute by minute, engorging my body and soul.
