It seems since this summer there’s no shortage of clam shacks and shellfish joints opening up in New York City. We’ve been starting to make the rounds, and the list is growing.
Littleneck opened a popular clamshack this summer in Gowanus, and has just started serving brunch.
L&W Oyster Co. opened a few weeks ago, on 5th Avenue in Manhattan, “Just post-storm,” Eric Lemonides, an owner, told us. “When we conceived of this [concept] we were on the beach, kind of in a vacuum, but now it seems we’re part of a zeitgeist”. A happy one for us.
Kittery will open in Carroll Gardens next Tuesday, and their lobster roll has been getting advance press. With a New Englander at the helm of this ship, we’re especially curious.

November 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Two of our nation’s premier cultural institutions are turning the spotlight on food: growing it and the industry surrounding it. Both have opened this week.
The American Museum of Natural History has opened “Our Global Kitchen: Food, Nature, Culture,” covering the growth, trade, transport, cooking, tasting and wasting of food from prehistoric times to the modern era. It’s a largely interactive exhibit, with food demos and a scheduled tasting series as well.
The Smithsonian Institution has opened “Food: Transforming the American Table 1950-2000,” which explores our diversity of food and plentitude of it. Changes in the cooking and eating landscape are covered, as well as paradigm shifts that have come with new technologies, influential people, and broad shifts in social and cultural life.
