Crabs!

Crabs galore at Back Forty's Crab Boil

Tomorrow is the final crab boil hosted by Back Forty.  They have been boiling all week long for the ocean-loving masses that couldn't Jitney out to far Long Island lands but prefer Avenue B as their sojourn. I went a couple weeks ago and let me just say, try to squeeze into this last crab chowdown if you have the chance. $60 (includes tax and tip) will get you buckets and buckets of crabs, straight from Montauk. Not only are the crabs delicious (and all male), you can savor some truly legit spiced cornbread, corn on the cob, roasted herb potatoes and if you can fit anything more down your pipe - a seasonal fruit cobbler to finish it off. Wash everything down with a pitcher of beer or my personal favorite - a Back Forty Red & Black cocktail.

This is what summer is all about. Soak in the final days and crack a few crabs while you're at it.
