Strange request. I don’t think of NY when I think shrimp salad. Pastrami yes, pizza too, but shrimp salad? Interesting. I’ll send your Q to some New Yorkers though. New York City right?

If you want a fresh shrimp salad or even better a lobster salad you should visit Long Island in New York. New York City you could get a Pastrami sandwich to die for and terrific Pizza. For fish go to the source. Long Island.

City Island

“City Island is a small island approximately 1.5 mi by .5 mi. At one time incorporated within the boundaries of Pelham, Westchester County, it is now part of the New York City borough of the Bronx. As of the 2010 census the island had a population of 4,362.”

“The island has the look and feel of a small New England fishing village, with no spot more than a few minutes’ walking distance to the water. Most businesses are clustered along the central City Island Avenue. There are two small supermarkets, a gas station, a pharmacy, a bank, a hardware store, and a variety of other small shops. The island is most famous for its numerous seafood restaurants and antique stores, which line both sides of the avenue. ”

You can probably get a much better shrimp salad sandwich in Trinidad.

What else is on your list?

The best shrimp salad sandwich in Manhattan is at the Whitney Museum cafe, on Madison Avenue at 75 street.

The best lobster roll in Manhattan is at Luke’s Lobster Shack. There are a few of them ,my favorite is on William Street at Broad on the Financial District.

Thank you all very much.
