| A lot of celebrities go to eat at Joe Allen to avoid autograph-seekers and just enjoy their meal. I thought in the past I had read that their staff was well-trained to deal with interlopers. I recall I once arrived to meet my cousin, announced her name to the maitre d', and then I was being taken toward Lucille Ball's table! I didn't want to bother her, rushed back to the maitre d's desk, and my cousin retrieved me, as we were sitting at a table just on the other side of the aisle next to Ms. Ball's party. A couple of women coming up the aisle, when they saw her, turned inwards away from Ball's table toward us, and whispered "There's Lucille Ball" to each other, acknowledging, but basically leaving her alone. Btw, a young man did join Ms. Ball's party, so I guess they were expecting someone around my age to join them. Ms. Ball looked great -- such red hair! Plus as I glanced over during the meal, she seemed very business-like. No one but the waiters approached them. I think if a celebrity sees friends there, or if someone knows them, Joe Allen's is a place to reconnect, but as far as autographs or trying to give someone a picture/resume, that would seem verboten and unwanted. Funny story: my cousin said years ago whenever she went there she saw Jack Gilford. She once mentioned to a friend that this particular time was the first time Jack Gilford wasn't there, and who should just then appear but Jack Gilford! |
