Couple brings baby and crib to hip brunch spot
We all love brunch, but did these parents go too far?
By Kristin Wong 4 hours ago

Check out this photo of a bold couple who pushed their baby's crib to a Brooklyn brunch spot.

(http://media-social.s-msn.com/images/blogs/000c0065-0000-0000-0000-000000000000_00000065-07e2-0000-0000-000000000000_20130715171512_0715_nycrib.jpg)

Workers of Williamsburg’s Rosarito Fish Shack were reportedly stunned when the couple asked if they could set up the crib at one of the sidewalk café tables.

The restaurant’s daytime manager Susie Kenny told DNAinfo:

“That certainly was a first. We were laughing all day. It was a highlight.”

The crib took up a large portion of the sidewalk, and Kenny added that she wasn’t sure if this “passed fire code,” but after watching the parents push the crib down the street, she didn’t want to turn them away.

Seems to be a lot of trouble to go through.

Guess they don't have a stroller and the restaurant doesn't have any high chairs.

Hey, maybe he's a really hyper kid that cries if he's confined to a high chair.  At first, when I saw the headline - I was picturing them bringing the crib INTO a restaurant - but seeing it was outside - I think it's kind of neat.  I'm sure the kid enjoyed it.  I don't have a problem with it if it doesn't cause a hazard.

They can do whatever the hell they want as long as I don't have to sit next to these professional parents and their noxious child.

Performance "art" by a pair of exhibitionists.  At least they kept their clothes on.
