Summer is here! Well almost, but in a few days the longest day of the year will officially be the start of a long-awaited summer here in New England. Today is National Lobster Day, so it’s fitting I post the first of many reviews on my favorite lobster rolls. 

Every year during the week of my birthday, we head to a little island that’s 13 miles away, or a 35-minute fast ferry ride, from the mainland. Block Island is not only a treat, but a retreat…like going back in time. The layers of stress peel off with every swell underneath the ferry’s bow.
