During my “Greet” with a new friend from Cumming, GA, we stopped for lunch—specifically a lobster roll—at Cull & Pistol in Chelsea Market. A “Greet” is a free, informal tour of an area in New York City led by a volunteer from Big Apple Greeters, a nonprofit organization that has welcomed NYC visitors since 1992. I’m a new volunteer sharing my love of the city with newcomers.

My new friend had the hot butter version ($40); I requested mine chilled ($40). Both were delicious, as were the shoestring fries. I washed my down with some Sauvignon Blanc ($16), my new friend, with a Pilsner ($9). We each were happily satiated. The restaurant name is for the clawless crustaceans, a cull is a lobster with only one claw; a pistol with none! That’s irrelevant for lobster rolls!

I highly recommend Cull & Pistol!  If you’re an oyster lover, don’t miss their half-price ones at happy hour starting at 4 pm at the bar.
