About
Are you craving some seafood? How about a pile of sauce-covered shrimp or steamed snow crab? Maybe you're looking for the satisfying crunch of fried conch or a savory soft-shell crab sandwich. At Lolo's Seafood Shack, you can enjoy a taste of the coast - or the islands - without ever having to leave New York City! In the Caribbean islands, a "lolo" refers to a traditional restaurant where you can taste local dishes, seasonings, and flavors. In 2014, entrepreneur and hospitality guru Leticia Young partnered with executive chef Raymond Mohan to create Lolo's Seafood Shack. The goal was to introduce New Yorkers to the flavors of the Caribbean and provide a new twist on coastal seafood favorites.

This little place is hip and friendly. All of the seafood boils are tasty and have just the right spice. The rum punch is a must-order. Make sure to order the Conch Fritters. And be prepared for a really friendly staff.
