"I don't care how noisy the restaurant is. If the President's daughters and SS walk in the door, everyone in the restaurant is going to know."
The people in this neighborhood are just not that uncivil. They enjoy playing up the crazed leftwing radical schtick for out-of-towners, especially when there is a TV crew like at the RNC convention, but I think they would be more than civil to the twins. You must understand that new yorkers would think this is a funny P.R. stunt. I wouldn't take it as true until you see it reported somewhere besides gawker or until you see a spokesman for the twins confirm it.
I'm waiting to hear what the guy who posted #238 says. He said the manager confirmed it. I just don't see this as being a very good publicity stunt. We're only talking about people at that restaurant that night, not people in the neighborhood. I can easily see how this could happen.
