This quaint Cornelia Street seafood bar in the West Village has become a fan-favorite neighborhood joint since opening decades back. Pearl Oyster Bar’s monstrous Maine-style lobster roll is generously packed with lucious, creamy lobster meat and thrown in a lemon-y mayo. It’s both classic and simple without skimping on flavor. Plus, it’s served with a massive mountain of shoestring French fries for good measure.
