We weren’t sure if they were out of business, taking some time off, or just keeping quiet on the tweets. Turns out it was the latter. The latest hot spot for food trucks is 47th St between Park & Madison, with some spillover on Vanderbilt Ave and on the east side of Park Ave. Yesterday there were 5 food trucks on that block, with 2 more spotted in the surrounding area. That’s a nice choice for lunch, and Urban Lobster Shack was one of the options.

H-2B visa workers have files complaints with the U.S. Labor Department accusing CJ's Seafood of Breaux Bridge, LA of being locked in the facility, forced to work double and triple shifts without overtime compensation and not being allowed to take breaks.
