Butcher Paper Dinner: Lobster Boil!
Can we talk history for a second? Rod and Joan MacGregor opened The Lobster Place in 1974 with a goal of bringing the taste of the Maine coast to NYC restaurants. Now do some quick math... these guys have been bringing the best seafood to NYC for over 40 years. Hats off!!
All that to say, they know their stuff and you are in for a treat for our first Butcher Paper Dinner Lobster Boil! We may have a thing for crustaceans... but the king of the crustaceans has never made an appearance up on the farm as of yet. This year, that changes. We welcome, the Lobster.
In true boil style, there will be seafood galore. Clams, shrimp, all the good stuff will be in the pot with potatoes and veg to boot. And since these guys know seafood, they'll be slinging oysters to start. When you bring in the seafood experts, you've gotta eat all the seafood, right?
You'll want to be there.

ABOUT BUTCHER PAPER DINNERS:
This series of fun, inventive dinner parties to be held spring through fall at Brooklyn Grange's flagship rooftop will center around the farm's massive, reclaimed white oak communal table down the length of which organizers will roll butcher paper. A rotating lineup of the city's most innovative chefs will bring their unique culinary stylings to play with the farm's fresh, seasonal produce, serving family-style meals directly atop the paper-lined table. This style of hands-on dining allows guests to really engage with their food, and their neighboring diners around them. Participating chefs will hail from all over the New York City area but will draw their inspiration from the eclectic diversity and bold flavors of Queens' signature culinary culture.
