So this guy walks into Nello’s…
This is two weeks ago. He forks up $27, 410 for lunch. LUNCH not dinner. This week, it’s another guy, also Russian. He pays $47,810 for lunch. Apparently, his bill is a bit higher because he orders some vintage wine and a couple of magnums of $5,000 Cristal. The tip? A mere $9,400 and change. But the best part of the story is the fact that Nello’s owes vast amounts of money to its suppliers. They’re being sued. You wanna ’splain me how the fuck that happens? Or how bout this? The lovely Stephanie Seymour is settling for a paltry $270,000 a MONTH before her divorce from Peter Brandt. She better not be lunching at Nello’s is all I can say. Or she’ll end just another pretty panhandler….But this is what I love about this town–how it always manages to put your own petty problems into perspective.
In the meantime, if Mike F’ing Bloomberg calls me one more time…I’m gonna. I’m gonna. What am I gonna do? Hang up.
More later…
I realize things are tough all over but thanks this post, my heart truly goes out now to poor little Stephanie. We’re talking under $300,000.00 a month. How does one manage? And as far as that $27,410.00 lunch is concerned… being in the business I have to say that doesn’t sound right, Brenda. Someone had to have ordered extra fries there.
