blonde tomato

My mom called this a Mary Jane egg. She grew up in Brooklyn and we lived in New Jersey. My family refers to this dish as an egg picture frame. (My kids thought an egg (in a ) picture frame was more descriptive.)

Are you still looking for a tapas place for a group? If so, you might want to try Pipa, Alta or Stanton Social(The latter may be more of a scene than you want but the food's good and it can be fun). You can see food samples and informal chef interviews for Alta at http://www.nyrestaurantvideos.com/nyrestau...ideosalta1.html and Stanton Social at http://www.nyrestaurantvideos.com/nyrestau...tonsocial1.html (Disclaimer -it's my web site) Also, if you are still looking for something to do and the weather is nice, you can check out Big Onion Walking Tours for inexpensive tours of different parts of town.
