Gal R.Gal Rozov: Try the Lobster Roll (Sandwich)

Robb F.Robb Fitzsimmons: Hidden a block away from the river between two houses. Excellent lobster roll (technically a sandwich, on buttered, toasted bread), light on the mayo. Picnic tables, no frills - just very, very fresh.

JennyJenny: The lobster roll here is actually a lobster sandwich, between two slices of toasted bread, and it's pretty delicious! Stuffed with lobster, not doused in mayo, comes with Cape Cod chips.
