Hiding Amongst The Hipsters
We may not need Vice's Gavin McInnes to join the
hunt for Osama after all. Famed restaurant critic
and author Mimi Sheraton wrote Fishbowl with her
suspicions that the one to discover his hiding
place will come from the ranks of Frank Bruni,
Adam Platt and herself:
"Forget China. Anyone up on the current
restaurant frenzy in New York knows that Bin Laden
is more likely to be found in the vicinity of
Rivington and Ludlow streets on the Lower East
Side, preparing to open a restaurant. Hiding in
plain sight, he will call it Osama's Cave (I mean,
who would think...?) and will feature an Iranian
and Syrian-informed menu. Food will be served in
the traditional manner with guests seated on dirt
floors around tables, dipping into communal mezes
to indicate that no one fears being poisoned.
There will be no liquor and, to deflect whatever
suspicion there might be, the place will be glatt
kosher. There will be no sign outside the
restaurant. You'll have to find Osama's Cave the
hard way."
And Bruni will give it the obligatory one star.
