Good Eats at Liberty State Park - Maritime Parc

Good Eats at Liberty State Park

Did you know there are a couple of great restaurants in Liberty State Park? Maritime Parc is one the restaurants located inside Liberty Sate Park, it's a great find nestled in Jersey City, opened only about a year ago.

It has indoor and outdoor seating, a spectacular view of the Marina boats and New York City Skyline, great unique indoor design and the staff is friendly and welcoming, adding up to a wonderful dining experience.

Though not everything is perfect, sometimes service goes awry such as forgetting desserts, taking longer time to bring out the food, but the service staff is quick to rectify the mistake. The quality and presentation of food is quite good, flavor combination is satisfying to any palate. Pickled plate with corn, apple and grapes for bread dipping is a refreshing start to a meal.

The interior design of the restaurant has a modern feel with clean horizontal lines. A 350-bottle wine display, Chef's table with views of both the open kitchen and the Marina, are all the unique elements of this restaurant.

Deep Fried Tarantulas

I was bored watching some clips about bugs last night on youtube and found this clip about people eating Spiders.(Tarantulas). I never really consider that tarantulas can be eaten since they are consider to be poisonous. Oh well, I guess anything is possible. Apparently in Cambodia, it has been one of their Delicacy.

I want to try it, maybe just the legs, but they don't make it here...lol..it probably taste like fried chicken legs.

I guess Fried tarantulas is just one of the dozen choices to be made while browsing for some other deep fried bugs.

It reminds me of that movie, "Arachnophobia"..whenever I look at it, still gives me shivers.
