The Lower East Side spinoff of Ed’s Lobster Bar (the original restaurant is located on Lafayette Street) opens tonight at 25 Clinton. Grub Street got a look at the menu for Ed’s Lobster Bar Annex, which will be open for dinner only (and Sunday brunch after Labor Day).
As you’d expect, there’s a large raw bar — oysters ($3 each), clams ($1.50 each). Larger plates include — a whole steamed lobster ($34) and, of course, a lobster roll ($27). The new twist on Clinton Street, however, seems to be small, “sharable” plates. Among them – mini lobster rolls ($5 each), lobster meatballs ($8 for two), lobster tacos ($12 for three) and fried oyster sliders ($4 each).
One of the highlights at this location: a backyard capable of seating 20 people. The restaurant will be open Tuesday-Sunday (closing at 11 p.m. weeknights and 2 a.m. on weekends).
If you’d like to have a look at the whole menu, here it is!
$3 per oyster and $1.50 per clam is such a rip-off.
$3 an oyster…wow hopefully you find a pearl in one
