An Outdoor Kiosk of Lobster Rolls

If you love something, set it free. Especially when that something is a top-split Pepperidge Farm bun filled with fresh Maine crustacean. You see, starting today, Ed’s Lobster Bar is taking their famous rolls (along with po’boys and peekytoe crab sandwiches) outside to North Cove Marina. Meaning spring can now technically begin.

A Macaron-Stocked Date Spot

Protocol dictates that a West Village date night go: Da Silvano into Sweet Revenge into Little Branch into, well, you get the point. But that doesn’t mean there’s no place for quaint tea parlors with 100 varieties of loose-leaf brew and gourmet yuzu macarons. You can never have too many macaron joints.

Now open, Bosie Tea Parlor, 10 Morton St, 212-352-9900
