There’s something very romantic about eating fried fish from crisp, rolled-up paper. Our favorite spot to be whisked away to the UK is at the picturesque little shop, A Salt & Battery, in the West Village. We have been doing a lot of eating outside in parks–a perk both of summer and new parenthood–and made this one of our first stops the week after Hudson was born. There’s a small square nearby if the benches out front are occupied, or you can take your fare out to the river for stargazing.
What Aron didn’t snap a shot of is the fried Cadbury egg he got us. Talk about decadent goeyness! But our favorite treat remains the fried banana.
Have an indulgent weekend!
And thank you so much for all the birthday wishes!

Genius! Love the name. Miss fish and chips in rolled up newspaper – though that only really happens at the seaside in England, not normal chippies – it's such a lovely nod to a wonderful tradition!
one of my favourite places to indulge! question: are the polaroid frames from an iPhone app or :gasp: and actual polaroid?! ((:

Hooray for Fish and Chips and the cutest restaurant name ever!
The name is so creative! And now my mouth is watering!
Another one of my fave spots! I love that little square, too. You are totally at a crazy intersection of neighborhoods colliding. Sounds like the perfect dinner date!
One of our favorite spots as well!
Oh my goodness, a fried Cadbury egg?! How funny! Need to see that!
oh man that cadbury egg is ridiculous. You always end up smelling like a "chippy" (english people call fish and ship shops, chippys) when you leave there. My boyfriend's brother worked there for a moment as an English immigrant. Food is traditional and great, but I always need a salad after
Ah! I lol-ed like a cat at the name of this place! So awesome, a must for my next nyc trip. You guys are so cute!
