Who says Monday needs to be a drag? At Ulysses NYC, the start of the workweek comes with a rather delicious consolation prize: a 1.5-pound Maine lobster, classic sides and a pint of Guinness for just $26. Suddenly, that Monday meeting doesn’t seem quite so painful.
Located on historic Stone Street in Manhattan’s Financial District, Ulysses’ Folk House is a lively Irish pub known for its welcoming atmosphere, outdoor seating and hearty pub fare. Its popular Lobster Monday special gives New Yorkers an excuse to swap the usual after-work burger for a seafood feast without the luxury-restaurant bill.
A Whole Lobster for $26? Yes, Really.
The weekly special features a 1.5-pound Maine lobster served with a baked potato, corn on the cob and a pint of Guinness. It’s the sort of generous combination that makes ordering lunch at your desk suddenly feel like a missed opportunity.
The lobster is the headliner, but the classic accompaniments complete the New England-inspired feast. And with Guinness included, Ulysses adds an Irish pub twist to a traditionally coastal seafood dinner. Surf, turf-adjacent sides and stout? Monday just found its personality.
More Lobster, More Reasons to Stay
For diners who want to keep the seafood celebration going, Ulysses also offers lobster sliders with Old Bay mayonnaise, lobster mac and cheese, and lobster deviled eggs on its dedicated Lobster Monday menu. Consider this your official permission to make lobster the theme of the evening.
Beyond the special, Ulysses brings plenty of classic pub energy to Stone Street, with craft beers, cocktails, live music and a lively crowd that makes it easy to turn dinner into a night out.
Plan Your Lobster Monday
The $26 lobster special is advertised for Mondays, starting at 4 p.m. Head to 58 Stone Street in the Financial District and arrive early if you want to beat the after-work rush.
Check the official Ulysses NYC website for current details before visiting.
Because when life hands you a Monday, the smartest response might just be lobster, corn, a baked potato and Guinness.
