The 8 Best Things to Eat in Brooklyn This Summer

Littleneck
288 3rd Avenue, Gowanus
Perhaps no food says “summer” more than the lobster roll. The interplay of the warm bun and the cool lobster meat is reminiscent of cold ocean waters and hot sandy beaches. Littleneck offers up our favorite version: sweet chunks of lobster are lightly bound with a slick of mayo and piled high in a toasted hot dog bun. A single squirt of lemon elevates it even higher, and we swear that if you close your eyes while eating, you’d think you were on Maine’s rocky coast instead of the shores of the Gowanus Canal.
