Clam Broth House

Back in June when my parents were here we went on a bit of a wander over to the New Jersey side of the Hudson to get some views back of Manhattan at sunset. After wandering for awhile we ended up in this town called Hoboken. It was getting late and we had not eaten dinner and ended up at this place called the Clam Broth House (CBH). To be honest it looked a little tacky inside and was not exactly busy. Clam chowder is something that I had really taken a liking to over this way and so I thought is would be good to be a bit rebellious and try something different. All hesitations were quickly left behind when they bought out our entrees which was a Lobster Bisque. Words cannot describe the taste sensation that was packed into this pumpkin soup looking concoction. Sensational. I think everyone was blown away by it.


So anyway last night Tracy and me headed over to CBH to get another fix. I was suffering the affects of sun stroke after walking from 14th St. up to Grant's Mausoleum at 120th St. For those non locals that equals a freakin long way. I did not want that to come between me and the Lobster B. I was slightly torn though between the Lobster and their oyster selection so I did what any American would do and order both. It was poetry for my tongue. Just as good as the last time. 


It's actually a piece of cake to get there The PATH train on 6th Ave drops you off at their doorstep. The other great thing is New York prices are left at the hudson. Three course meal and drinks.........70 bucks. Bargain.
