Sel de Mer

This past weekend, we visited the glorious New York City at Christmastime. It was our first time there during the holiday season, and boy was the city hustling and bustling. It was fun, though, and our friend Katherine showed us a wonderful time! Our first night in, she took us to a wonderful seafood restaurant, Sel de Mer, where we had an amazing butternut squash risotto and mahi-mahi. It was super wonderful!

As it turned out, one of the most interesting features of this restaurant, for us at least, was the menu. The menus were stylish and eco-friendly - they used recycled old books as a cover, and placed the hand-written specials inside along with their regular menu. The spectacular part was what appeared on the cover of Jamie's menu:

And the crazy thing was, that out of all of the people dining in the restaurant (it was full), they delivered that menu to our table - and out of the three people dining at our table, they put it in front of Jamie. Weird, no?

I guess you have to also know that Jamie goes to MIT, if you don't already.

I just thought it was fun :)

I'll post more NYC pics soon, and they will feature our new friend Stanley!
