Foodie: Lobster Celebration at Seahorse Tavern

Tomorrow (Sunday, August 19th) Upper East Side favorite The Seahorse Tavern is celebrating its 1 Year Anniversary with a "Lobster Celebration". All day they will be serving up special lobster dishes like Lobster Bisque, Maine Lobster Salad, Lobster Rolls, and a 1-1/4 lb. Maine Lobster served with steamed clams and corn.

I've personally tried their lobster rolls before and they are DELICIOUS (see my photo below)! They are seasoned with herbs, provide a hefty amount of fresh lobster meat, and are served with delicious fries, chipotle mayo, and gourmet red cabbage cole slaw. This is a great opportunity to enjoy delicious summertime seafood at the peak of season! Wash it down with one of their craft beers.

The Seahorse Tavern is located on E 85th Street, right off of 2nd Avenue (near the NE corner).
