Red Hook Lobster Pound joins NYC Restaurant Week with affordable summer meals

RED HOOK, Brooklyn (PIX11) -- Red Hook Lobster Pound, a cherished seafood restaurant in Brooklyn, is making waves this summer by participating for the first time in New York City's Restaurant Week.

This event, which concludes on Aug. 18, offers diners the chance to enjoy prix-fixe meals at various restaurants throughout the city.

Cyndi Stanimirov, the director of operations at Red Hook Lobster Pound, expressed her excitement about the restaurant's debut in this popular event.

She emphasized the restaurant's desire to provide something special for their loyal customers, who have supported them for over 15 years.

"We wanted to make sure that we could offer something to our guests that have been faithful to us for over the 15 years, something more accessible," Stanimirov stated.

Recognizing the high cost of lobster, the restaurant aims to make their famous lobster rolls and New England clam chowder more affordable during Restaurant Week.

Red Hook Lobster Pound is offering both lunch and dinner menus for the event, maintaining their commitment to consistency and quality. Stanimirov assured that the size of their lobster rolls during Restaurant Week would be the same as any other day. This consistency has been crucial in attracting new customers to the somewhat secluded Red Hook area.

"We're able to drive in customers that may have not ever been down here," Stanimirov noted.

The restaurant's participation in Restaurant Week has been significant, drawing diners eager to enjoy a summer lobster roll.

With nearly 60 Brooklyn restaurants participating, there is something for everyone to enjoy during this culinary celebration. Whether craving a classic lobster roll or trying something new, Red Hook Lobster Pound offers a delightful experience for seafood lovers.
