South Street Seaport area for lunch?

Sorry if this has been asked before- and yes, I did google for info. :) I'm going to be in NY in a few weeks, and i'm taking a short cruise that originates from the South Street Seaport. (it's the Waterfall art installation cruise, which I am very excited about) Anyway, does anyone know of any unique restaurants in the area for lunch? Thanks for any recommendations!

What should I do with this summer squash?

I bought a bag of gorgeous baby squash last night. I thought of just steaming theme whole and tossing with olive oil, garlic, and lemon, but that seems too simple. Does anyone have any other ideas?

eggs- organic vs. cage free?

At the market yesterday I saw two different packages of eggs- one said "Organic" and one said "Cage Free". Does anyone know how each is defined?

Appetizers & cocktails circa 1964...

A friend of mine asked me to cook for his 45th birthday party early next year. Not being one to procrastinate, especially when it comes to food, I am already trying to find recipe ideas for appetizers and such that originate from the early '60's. Any ideas?

I need advice re: a cast iron enamel dutch oven...

I bought a Food Network cast iron enamel dutch oven. Not being able to afford a Le Creuset, and never having had any experience with one, I thought $100 was a good bargain for the FN pan. Well, after two days (with careful use), the cover was chipped around the edge. I exchanged it for a different one at the store where I bought it. When I got it home and took it out of the box to look at it, I noticed that the enamel isn't covering some spots on the very inside cover, and the overall paint doesn't look "even". Should I exchange it again? Are there other brands besides Le Creuset that are better quality and not too expensive?

How about tartar sauce? I love fries dipped in tartar sauce, sometimes mixed with ketchup.

already tired of pasta salad

I too am tired of pasta salad, but at lunch the other day, I had the most delicious pasta salad that had a vidalia onion dressing, tomatoes, black olives, and artichoke hearts with orichette (sp?) pasta, and the best part- it included toasted pine nuts! It was so delicious! I'm going to try to recreate it at home!

Does anyone drink Tuaca?

I love tuaca- I was first introduced to it in Denver. I like to mix it with diet ginger ale and limes, and lots of ice!

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

You can go to fizzies.com and order any flavor you like! My favorite is cherry or grape. By the case for $12 or 15 - I can't remember. But what I miss the most are those giant Charms lollipops - I was proposed to with a handful of Charms Cherry because I was always seen with one stuck in my mouth! I was in the Army and they were at the ice cream store on base and one day an officer said I should at least take the sucker out of my mouth with I salute!

I'm with wenday. You cannot beat Mickey D's fries dipped into a plain soft serve cone. It is like little bites of heaven. Heart attack inducing heaven, but heaven none the less!
