Who gives a baby octopus? I know, I know. But funnily enough, the octopus was not for him. Really. And this Sunday brunch we met friends in Soho at a new hotspot. The models and moviestars aren't always up for dining with the baby set but I had faith in Jenson. Who knew the key to everyone's dining enjoyment that afternoon was to just stick a bowl of tentacles on the table. My boy is a Mollusk man.
LOCATION: Charlie Bird, New York
Sometimes it takes a child to reconnect you with that joyous sensation of discovering something new for the first time. After my son was born, determined not to give up my love of trying new restaurants and food, I decided to just bring him along for the ride. Here are my family's delicious adventures in Brooklyn and beyond, seen through the eyes of Jenson.
Welcome to First Bites where we attempt to answer all of your questions about a particular restaurant before deciding to hit the scene with your offspring. Eating out with kids can be fun (I hear you snickering) but it does take a little planning. Now that I have a child, I look for a different type of restaurant when I eat out and it pretty much boils down to how many laser-beam stares of death my family will receive when we open the door. If it is high, we usually steer clear. Let us help you avoid those stares of death. Thanks for stopping by!
