Shad Roe is a true New York spring specialty.
Cream or butter with bacon and in this case some onions and capers.
The fish are taken as they enter the north eastern rivers from the sea to spawn.
They are a delicacy.

Get it at Lily’s restaurant at the roger smith.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Bethanne Patrick, known as the book maven, here at Lily’s Restaurant at the Roger Smith Hotel.  It was great to hear from her about the ways in which social media has impacted the publishing industry and the role that she has played in this change. Below is a clip on how she got involved on Twitter and how it has impacted his work as well as a clip on what she loves about New York.  You can find Bethanne on Twitter, @thebookmaven and on her website, http://bookmavenmedia.com
