City Island
Sometimes in life you need a change of pace, something to put the pep back in your step. This weekend was not an easy weekend for me. Valentine’s Day is for those who are cherished, apart from my mother’s love, that would not be me.
However I am not one to let things keep me down and I found a mood-booster. The Lobster House on City Island. If you have lived here for 100 years or you have just moved, City Island is not to be missed.
The Lobster House provided us with enough food for three meals, most of us took a goody bag home. Lobster, clams, mussels, corn on the cob, clam chowder, salad, dessert, port wine and champagne. The service was amazing JoJo the owner struck a conversation with one of my friends about cars and within seconds she was presented with a purple challenger (whatever that is). Oscar our waiter was attentive, energetic and enjoyed giving us our lemon shower to cleanse our hands between courses. All of this set us back 40 bucks each.
Good times had by all. You can get there on the 6 train, then you need to switch to a bus or you can rent a car with www.drivemint.com. We did just that and it made it like a mini-road trip. Check out www.cityisland.com
Simple pleasures like dipping lobster tail in thick butter can beat the winter blues or in this case the Valentine’s blues.
Ships Ahoy,
