Crustacean-slinging mini-empire Luke's Lobster, which Gothamist once declared the purveyors of "arguably the greatest lobster roll in this fair city," is going mobile this summer with an ever-popular food truck to call their own. They're kicking things off this Sunday at the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market Gourmet Food Truck Bazaar (try saying that ten times fast), with more sandwiches to come.
"We’ll be doing Midtown lunch and we’ll find nightspots for the late-night crowd, plus fairs and events all over the city,” said Ben Conniff, Luke’s vice president, who says they plan to camp out "wherever people are having a good time," until 2 a.m. on weekends across downtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. They're also interested in partnering with the city's Greenmarkets and Prospect Park's Celebrate Brooklyn! events. Oh, and the truck's name? Conniff says it's been dubbed "Nauti," as in, "Our Nautical Automobile." So don your finest seersucker and a strap on that bib, summer's almost here!
