Luke’s Lobster – Brooklyn Bridge Park

On our list of the best restaurants with a view in New York.

Luke's Lobster took over the entire Smokestack Building in Brooklyn Bridge Park, expanding from a walk-up window into a sit-down spot with a dozen seats inside and dozens more outdoors. The kitchen keeps the same lineup that built the chain: lobster, crab, and shrimp rolls, chowder, and sides, now served alongside wine and beer instead of just soda. Lines still form at peak hours, since seating fills first with whoever already has a roll in hand.
