Hall & Aldo's
Sergio Vitale of Aldo's got quite a response -- much of it negative -- when he trumpeted news that Lookin at Lucky's owner dined at the restaurant after winning the Preakness.
When another celebrity supped at Aldo's Sunday, Vitale still wanted to share the news, but in little more understated way.
"Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates just called us to make a reservation for dinner tonight after their Pier 6 concert," he e-mailed me Sunday afternoon. "Needless to say, (given my recent experience), I won't be preparing a press release after this dinner (LOL) but I'll share any details if interested."
I told him I was interested. If you are, too, here are the details of the dinner enjoyed by Hall and two companions. Here's Sergio. LV
They had: Chef Aldo's House-cured Charcuterie: Pancetta & Sopressata
Arancini - Risotto Balls stuffed with Meat Sauce, Peas and Carrots
Soft Shell Crab, Brown Butter & Remoulade with Sweet Corn Fritter
Crab Cake Appetizer, Beef Carpaccio Hall had Zuppa di Pesce (assorted fresh seafood in a tomato bouillon) for dinner.
He [Hall] was vacillating between the Osso Buco and the Zuppa, then decided on the Zuppa.
Affogato for dessert (vanilla gelato, espresso and sambuca)

Comments
I'm not too cool to say that I love Hall & Oates. There, I said it. Now we know that Daryl Hall also has good taste in food. On the osso buco, I guess he can't go for that. No can do.
Poor Oates. I guess he had to eat in an abandoned luncheonette.

Whooooo here she comes, watch out boy, she'll chew you up....whooo here she comes, she's a man-eater.
According to legend, I played that record over and over and over when I was two years old. I still get hassled about that song every time it comes on.

I love Aldo's. Couldn't Hall have tucked in his shirt?
