La Sirena at the Maritime Hotel - Meatpacking, NYC

Karina taking a moment to digest her food in the Maritime hotel lobby.

This Mario Batali restaurant is high end, but baby friendly. There are two things that allow for this; 1, the Maritime hotel lobby is adjacent to the restaurant, and there are many quiet seating areas where its possible and comfortable to breast feed your child, and 2, the spacious patio is perfect for strollers and the ambient street noise creates an environment where baby can nap without being awoken by the clatter of dishes. 

Did I mention the food is spectacular as well? Every dish we sampled was great, but the real star is the pasta. Order a couple and share. We ordered the pici with sausage and the Tonnarelli Neri. Baby had a packet of bananas and sweet potatoes with a mum mum for dessert.
