This is what I ate every summer, at least once a week, when I was growing up on Long Island. The Lobster Roll is a restaurant that looks more like a shack but serves the best damn lobster rolls in NY!!

This almost tempts me to visit LI and family. Pshew, I am over it. I can picture the place and the line up of cars in the summer during the season.
Where on LI did you grow up? Small world.
