FirstLook: Sagaponack Menu

Somehow the poster images of lobster rolls and beaches at sunset in the windows of Sagaponack before it opened didn’t quite prepare us for their actual menu. AlwaysHungryNY.com got a hold of one this afternoon and we’re a little perplexed.

To illustrate, let’s play a little game of One of These Things Is Not Like The Others: homemade dumplings, authentic Korean-style pancake station, and a taco bar with nachos and hard or soft shell tacos. Sagaponack does have a lobster roll for $12.95, but judging by the rest of the menu, it’s not inspiring much confidence.

AlwaysInformed: Sagaponack Restaurant to Open in Flatiron District

The interior, sign and exterior of the soon-to-open Sagaponack

The end of summer may be fast approaching, but New Yorkers living and working in the Flatiron District won’t have to mourn the loss of weekends spent out in the Hamptons. According to signage, a new restaurant called Sagaponack (presumably for the village in Southampton) will be opening next week in the space that was formerly Catch-22, a bar/lounge located at 4 West 22nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.

The vague sign provides few details, just that they will have “Wholesome food/ Casual lunch/ Great price,” with lunch service starting on September 9th. Judging from the quaint, homey décor and the images of lobster rolls, corn on the cob and beaches at sunset, chances are the food will be your standard clam bar fare. Because, after all, what this city really needs is another place to get a lobster roll.
