Ladies Who Lunch

Today Audrey and I enjoyed a lovely lunch at a favorite spot of ours, Bubby’s in Tribeca.  It’s one of the best places for brunch/lunch in Manhattan and a wonderful place if you have kids.  It always has a lively crowd which is perfect for Audrey as she loves to people watch.  And the noise level is high enough should she decide to experiment with her voice, it isn’t a distraction to those around us.  Plus, the food is awesome.  Today we shared a zucchini and squash frittata and salad.  As well as a few lemon slices which have become a newfound favorite of the little miss.  There was a pregnant woman dining next to us who commented on how well-behaved Audrey was.  She hoped that one day she’d be able to experience the same with her unborn child and asked if I had any helpful advice.  As a novice myself, I could only say that exposure seems to be the key.  I’ve never been afraid to bring Audrey into a restaurant and as long as she’s been able to sit up in a high-chair we’ve been taking her out.  I also always plan it so that the time we go coincides with mealtime for her.  And I don’t ever think of going into a restaurant without a bib, a bottle of water, a baby spoon, a container of food, and an arsenal of toys.  Piece of cake, right?
