Anniversary Appetizers- Pearl Oyster Bar
The very first time I came to NYC Mr. T took me to Pearl
Oyster Bar for lunch. I sat at the
crowded bar (which was the only seating in the house back then) ordered that
glorious, chunky roll with shoestring fries and suddenly NYC (and Mr. T for
that matter) was looking pretty good.
Does this guy know the way to my heart or what? So we began our one year anniversary celebration here but I
decided to go with all new dishes- Salt Baked Shrimp.
Somewhat similar to NY Noodletown but the whole shrimp,
shell included, had been baked in the batter.
The accompanying homemade tarter sauce was out of this world and I’ve
decided this will be my new appetizer at Pearl
from now on. Mr. T went with his usual bucket of steamers.
Then onto a whole grilled lobster.
While I ordered the Pan Roasted Sea Scallops.
Browned to perfection on top and served with some crisp
asparagus and a rich butter sauce. I
didn’t even miss my lobster roll…unfortunately I don’t think I missed any of
the calories either. Oh well- c’est la vie.
We were too full for dessert so we hopped in a cab home to
relax for the rest of the night.
I was too excited to do anything more anyway. Tomorrow was the “Entrée” portion of our Anniversary Weekend- lunch at
Per Se!
