15 must-try restaurants for lobster in Westchester, Rockland

Nothing screams summer like lobster. With its sweet meat, melted butter, and fan-favorite accompaniments of baked potato and corn-on-the-cob, this crustacean shines like the Queen Bee it is.

I'm talking the entire crustacean, not just something mixed with pasta, paired as part of a surf and turf combo or served tails only. So where can you get a taste of the season? Westchester and Rockland restaurants each have a host of seafood restaurants, casual spots and steakhouses featuring whole lobsters, including two where you can find it for less than $35. Just go soon as both offers end after Labor Day.

Lobster is $24.99 every Friday through Labor Day at The Place in New City.
