The first real sign of spring in Manhattan? Food trucks have started to line the streets of Midtown, offering up a plethora of options for those who desire something other than the standard sandwich or salad.
Our EP, Izzy Povich, took action and fixed the Last Word's case of the Mondays by recommending lobster rolls for lunch. Her cousin, Susan Povich, founded The Red Hook Lobster Pound, which debuted its Lobstermobile, aka "The Big Red" this afternoon.
After hearing about these fresh Maine lobster rolls, Lawrence treated The Last Word staff to perfectly toasted buns entrenched with shredded lobster meat, heavily drizzled in hot butter and scallions. This is where you now drool.

Mmmmmm.....lobster roll.
Thanks Lawrence! For all you NYC foodies, be sure to follow The Big Red @lobstertruckny.





This looks sooooooooo good!!!! You've just given me a great idea. We are taking my granddaughter to NYC for her birthday in June for 4 days, and we've decided to surprise her with a lobster dinner, her absolute favorite meal. We've made reservations for The View Restaurant in Times Square. She is going to be thrilled! Lobster, birthday cake, view of NY. It will be a night to remember for her.
You guys are doing some great great work on The Last Word and deserve this special lunch treat from Lawrence.
Very happy for you....lunch looks delicious!
Very sad for me....left over pizza was on my lunch menu today.
