After brunch today, Dustin & I went to the Apple store. After the Apple store, it was time for a nice aperitif. Since we were in Soho, and neither of us knew of a good local coffee shop, we ended up walking over to Cipriani on West Broadway.
There are a few seats outside (under little heaters). Right next to the door sat Rod Stewart - complete with little neck scarf and feathery hair and everything. We almost took a table beside him (there was no room inside) but there were barking dogs right there and we decided instead to go down the street to Barolo where we could sit inside.
When we finally sat down and got our drinks, we noticed that there was a Rod Stewart CD on at the restaurant. Coincidence!
Amusingly, the last time I was at Cipriani in Soho, Mickey Rourke was sitting in exactly the same place that Rod was today. It must be the celebrity seat or something. ;)
