Hamptons Pop-Ups Bring The East End To Manhattan This Summer
The Mark Clam Bar offers lobster rolls, fries, and plenty of upscale beachy treats
Instead of schlepping all the way out to Long Island, New Yorkers can get a taste of the South Fork without leaving the five boroughs. Several Manhattan restaurants are hosting Hamptons pop-ups this summer, offering a taste of the beach on the city grid.
In Tribeca, LDV Hospitality's American Cut has partnered with Amagansett's LUNCH Lobster Roll.
Now through Labor Day, patrons will see the iconic 1965 era red, white, and blue LUNCH sign beckoning them into the contemporary downtown steakhouse for a selection of seasonal dishes. A special Hamptons Meal ($28), served from 5-7 p.m. in the American Cut bar, lounge, and outdoor dining area includes two mini lobster sliders, a choice of caesar salad or truffle Fries, plus a gin or vodka martini.
In the main dining room, the classic full sized LUNCH lobster roll ($36) will be served this summer.

'We're thrilled to partner with American Cut to bring the spirit of summer in the Hamptons to Tribeca,' says Andrea Anthony, president of Lobster Roll Inc, which operates LUNCH. 'This collaboration captures the essence of coastal indulgence with a city edge.'
Those eager for the weekend to come faster can also take advantage of a LUNCH partnership with a popular fast casual salad chain, Chopt Creative Salad Co.
The Lobster Caesar Salad at Chopt
Every Thursday this summer, starting June 5, Chopt is offering a special Lobster Roll Caesar Salad. Topped with a 4 oz scoop of LUNCH's signature lobster salad, the customizable bowl is built on chopped green kale and romaine, and tossed with aged parmesan and croutons, plus caesar dressing. A toasted bun is served on the side for a fully beachy effect.
The special salad will only be available in-store at the following Manhattan Chopt locations: Astor Place, 17th Street, Penn Station, The Upper East Side at 78th and 3rd. It will also be served in Roslyn Heights, for those making the trek Out East on a Thursday.
Uptown, Madison Ave. meets the beach. On the Upper East Side, The Mark Hotel is offering a special pop-up, The Mark Clam Bar. Bright red signage emulates The Clam Bar at Napeague in Amagansett, but this version on city sidewalks is a collaboration by Jean-Georges and Caviar Kaspia, open from noon to 10 p.m. daily.
The Mark Clam Bar on Madison Avenue
The Mark Clam Bar is a beachside seafood shack melding American summer classics with sophisticated uptown dining. The menu features an extensive raw bar, plus cooked dishes like King crab arancini, Peekytoe crab cakes, a lobster roll, and lobster cobb salad with sriracha vinaigrette. Spritzes, Bloody Marys, and a full wine and beer list (including Montauk brews, of course), add to the vacation vibe.
And if the inspiration hits to head out east, the Jitney stop is just a few blocks away…
