Streetlevel: Lobster Pound Coming to Red Hook
Just in time for summer, the husband-wife team of Susan Povich and Ralph Gorham are getting ready to open the Red Hook Lobster Pound at 284 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. Every week, the duo (or one of them, anyway) will drive a truck up to Maine, back it up to a boat that’s…
Just in time for summer, the husband-wife team of Susan Povich and Ralph Gorham are getting ready to open the Red Hook Lobster Pound at 284 Van Brunt Street in Red Hook. Every week, the duo (or one of them, anyway) will drive a truck up to Maine, back it up to a boat that’s just come in off the water and drive the bounty back to Brooklyn. While the proprietors emphasize that the Lobster Pound will not be a restaurant but it may be possible to have the lobsters steamed. The store opens April 24. Yummmmm! GMAP
I have to agree with ENY- lobsters are cockroaches of the sea. GROSS.

ENY
Geminis have to stick together – when’s your Bday?
PS – I have a car so driving out to fairway is nice. However, if I didn;t have a car I really wouldn’t be climbing that 30 minute bus out there to then have to haul groceries back to Park Slope either – eeks
“ENY – I hope u r not calling me Eurotrash?”
Of course not, gemini10. I don’t even know where you’re from! Besides, I happen to be a Gemini myself. I was referring to Jacques Cousteau.
“Sorry ENY, I love them! Ya know Maine lobster is about the only sustainable fishery success story in the world. That is, where we are not depleting the ocean.”
Don’t worry about it. I feel sorry for YOU, actually. If the lobster industry was dependent on people like me, there wouldn’t be an “depletion” issue in the first place.
“Big overgrown insect crawling around the dirty, rocky shore. Some delicacy.”
Exactly…you also forgot “disease-carrying descendant of prehistoric species.”
Guestla:
You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension. My sentence said…silly TO ME. Can you read? Are you the CEO of Fairway?
I don’t need or want to go to Fairway to do my grocery shopping. Why is that so hard for you to believe…?
This is a free country. The little old ladies can be my guest. I simply said that TO ME it’s silly to travel all that way for groceries.
I’m definitely with you on that one infinitejester….Maryland Blue crabs are my favorite food on the planet earth. Blows lobster outta the water.
“I find the idea of going on a bus (and back) to get and haul groceries to be a bit silly to me. A lobster, fine…bags of food, nah.”
Wow, so I guess all those people who do this every day must be silly huh? The little old ladies who take their carts to the supermarket on the buses must be morons.
Born and raised in Maine…
ENY is almost right, although I’d say chocolate is the most overrated food overall. But lobster – eh. Big overgrown insect crawling around the dirty, rocky shore. Some delicacy. Lobster was poor people’s food for years, BTW. Not a dainty dish – ever eaten a lobster in the shell?
I prefer crab.

Sorry I don’t love your precious Fairway…
