ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Fifteen years ago, Susan Povich, owner of Red Hook Lobster Pound, set out to make New York a lobster roll town. She and her husband built a humming business with a reputation for being a great place to hang out on a summer Saturday afternoon. But the cost of doing business has gone up, despite their best efforts. Povich waited as long as possible before raising the price of a lobster roll with fries. A cost once unimaginable — $32 — became inevitable. The price of a pound of lobster claw and knuckle meat was about $14 in 2008 and peaked at nearly $50 during the worst of the pandemic. These days, Povich's business feels precarious as sales are down for the first time in years and expenses are skyrocketing. Povich said she would have to sell an extra 5,300 lobster rolls a year to offset the rising price of insurance and other unavoidable costs. Povich wishes that New Yorkers struggling with rent, heating bills and groceries would understand that she’s dealing with the same problems in the same unaffordable city.
