Got the summertime blues? New York Magazine sends a few food and drink cures our way. First, a list of some of the best lobster rolls in the city. Although we prefer ours with no mayo at all, just some drawn butter and a squeeze of lemon (like the one pictured at right), the non-mayo breed is tough to find locally, so we tend to head to Pearl for their hearty lobster roll served with addictive shoestring fries. If lobster rolls aren't your thing, never fear. You can eat something else at one of twenty-five spots for outdoor eating or browse their roundup of list of rooftop bars. Where are you heading to eat and drink away your summertime blues?
