Nothing says summer quite like a lobster roll on a seaside dock, the sound of seagulls cawing overhead.

On a recent trip to Portland, Maine, I set out to find the absolute best lobster roll around. Most of them were at least $30 — a price that may be too steep for some of the millions of tourists who venture to Maine's coastline each year to indulge in regularly throughout the summer.
So if you're only going to try one, you'll want to know which one is the absolute best.
I tried lobster rolls from five of Portland's most famous spots and ranked them. All except one were traditional Maine-style rolls, which meant they were served cold and with mayonnaise. The other most popular style of lobster roll is Connecticut, which comes warm with melted butter.

The first thing you'll notice about the Cape Liberty cruise port is the views: Situated on the Hudson River in New Jersey across from New York City, the port has spectacular skyline panoramas of Manhattan and unimpeded views of the Statue of Liberty. In fact, sailing out of Cape Liberty will bring you face-to-face (OK, face-to-toes) with Lady Liberty when you sail through the harbor.
