Barack’s Still Got It, Obamas Spend Saturday Night in New York City

Barack and Michelle Obama attend 'Joe Turner's Come and Gone'

If Michelle didn’t pick the restaurant then Barack owed her a legit date, because El Presidente did his homework.

Prince Harry wasn’t the only one getting his eco on here in New York City last weekend, Prez and Wifey were here, too, and had themselves a nice little Saturday night: dinner and a Broadway show. Though the trip didn’t exactly have a bite-sized carbon footprint—what with the Air Force Ones (not the sneakers), helicopters from JFK, and Presidential motorcades replete with plain-clothed Secret Service—the first couple did manage to slip in a symbolic gesture about the environment. The first couple’s date night started at Blue Hill, a fancy downtown restaurant that serves sustainable and seasonal food from its nearby upstate farm. The First Lady’s inner Alice Waters must have been beaming.

Afterwards, they took a limo ride up Sixth Avenue, which was lined with cheering onlookers, to see the play Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. We don’t know if Barack got lucky that night, we’re just happy that, by the looks of it, he still gets lucky.

Sorry, tennis shoes.

I love the daily news article with the eyewitness accounts from the restaurant where everybody was trying to be too cool for school. I never go gaga over showbiz or music celebrities–i’m more of a genius and power kinda guy, so there is no way I’d have been able to contain myself if I were sitting in that restaurant.

And I really need to be Barack’s stylist. The dinner jacket with white shirt and no tie is fine, but it’s just so safe and feels like something a wife would tell her husband to wear. It reeks of Brooks Brothers. If I were his personal shopper, even the most image conscious Italian dignitaries would be ogling his suits. I’d go for fine Savile Row tailoring but with a touch of nonchalant debonair. Shit would be ON POINT!

[...] It looks like the rumors that Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick’s real life romance is on the rocks may be true after all. Jess was spotted out with Adam Brody on a dinner date at Cafeteria in New York City Monday night. The couple was dining with two other people but it sounds like it may have been a double date. On their next date, Adam should take Jessica to the Blue Hill Restaurant in New York City’s West Village. The restaurant uses as many organic ingredients as possible to showcase locally grown and raised food and was the site of the Obama’s New York date night. [...]
