New Englanders know that there’s nothing better on a summer weekend than lobster, unless it’s cheap lobster. For the remainder of the season we’ll be tracking the price-per-pound at ten of the city’s leading purveyors. Where can you get the best deal? How are prices changing? Check back with Grub Street Boston every Friday through Labor Day to see where you can get the best deal in town. Who’s cheapest this week?
We’re taking off for the holiday but will be back on Tuesday. Enjoy the long weekend.
