Blue Ivy Carter hit the town for lunch yesterday, bundled up tight against the cold February wind.

Us Weekly is reporting that Beyoncé and Jay-Z took their seven-week old daughter out for lunch at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village on Saturday. While the couple have been out a few times since Blue Ivy's birth on January 7th – they were spotted at the Knicks game on Monday – this was the baby's first public appearance.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
