A BIT OF THE HAMPTONS ON GREENWICH
I don’t as a rule run restaurant promotions, but my pal A., who spotted the sign earlier this week, said this one is absolutely exciting. American Cut, the steakhouse on Greenwich and Franklin, is doing a summer collaboration with the The Lobster Roll restaurant, known as “Lunch,” out of Amagansett. (I guess Lunch is a classic destination among Hamptons loyalists — it started in 1965 as a roadside clam shack and has been owned by the same partners since 1978.) American Cut will have their recipe for lobster roll sliders on the bar menu from 5 to 7p and a full size roll on the regular menu.
