Steamhouse Lounge

Every inch of available wall space at this multilevel Midtown seafood institution has bits and baubles you’d find at a flea market (old license plates, random black and white photos, large fish statues etc.). The neighborhood pub charm makes cracking a pile of crab legs all the more appealing. But before the main course, it’s essential to get the hearty lobster bisque. The creamy bisque with massive chunks of lobster outshines all other bisques in the city—in price and taste. We prefer to be outside on their massive patio or balcony where we can sip a Goombay Smash, slurp oysters, and turn strangers from nearby tables into friends.
