So we went to the Crabhouse, the restaurant in Long Island City I mentioned earlier, and it ROCKED! The crabcakes were amazing but among the five of us we had a pretty good range of dishes, mussels, shrimp, and some amazing clam chowder. We realized that we should have booked a table, but we were seated in about 15 minutes. I didn’t expect it to be as busy but 8pm seems to be their peak time, and they have live music on Sundays which is one of the main reasons we wanted to go back. It seems to be their busiest night.
The food was excellent. They have many more options than the name implies (including meat, if you can’t go without for one night), though I considered it imperative to have the crabcakes. Amazing! Though I need to go back and try the lobster pretty soon. This place has been a great find for me: There’s actually not that many seafood restaurants that I like in New York, and it’s nice to have a restaurant that you can walk home from in 5 minutes. I’m sick of meeting people in Manhattan! If you live in Long Island City or even Greenpoint you really need to try this place.
We paid about $140 including a bottle of wine and gratuity for 5 people. Not bad at all.
