Oyster eating!
I kept my eyes peeled for Liz Lemon...but never caught a glimpse of her...even though I was staying mere feet from 30 Rockefeller Center. I am still in Awe of NYC. One thing I know for sure, she would have been down for my foodie tour around NYC...
NYC really turned me into a foodie for a week, above is a pic of a FANTASTIC Lobster Roll that I ate at Ed's Lobster Bar (222 Lafayette Street,NYC,(212) 343-3236), where I also tried the Lobster Ale. The restaurant was super fabulous, I also tried oysters for the first time...not bad. Pam's family and I sat at the bar which I think really added a whole different element to eating in NYC. We chatted it up with the oyster shucker and got to watch all the seafood preparation. Below is the Tuna Tartar from Ed's with fried pickles which are, apparently, a classic at this restaurant. 
We ate at Mario Batali's restaurant called Babbo Ristorante, it. was. fantastic. Pam's daughter, Britt, made reservations months in advance, for my main course I had rabbit (below). we opened with Grilled Octopus, which I expected to be just like all the other octopus I have ever had...chewy, but it wasn't. The grilled factor gave it a whole new taste. Our Primi dish was a Goat Cheese Ravioli...it literally melted in my mouth, This Mario Batali really knows what he's doing! When we were leaving Britt tried to make reservations for she and her boyfriend but failed because Babbo was booked up for months....hint:make reservations early...like 3 months early. THANKS BRITT!!
The best thing about thinking of all this delicious food in NYC was the fact that I ate almost all of it with Pam, my co-workers family. Pam's daughter lives downtown with her boyfriend and the 5 of us (Pam, Tim-husband, Britt, Tim-Britt's boyfriend and I) were all foodies in NYC together.
