pictures taken at the handsome elevated restaurant in the lobby of union station in washington d.c. once, in the 1980s i was having a drink with my friend mark steitz who had been director of opposition research at the democratic national committee. he bumped into a woman he knew and they both looked delighted. it was dee dee myers, president clinton's press secretary. mark is one of the most well connected people i know, and was even friendly with pamela harriman!
other pics at the soho grand, the woolworth building and tiny's in tribecca. photography is verboten in the woolworth but luckily i started taking pictures before i found out. i had a french 75 in the bar at the soho grand monday night (note- unless you specify they make it with cognac here, not gin.) the atmosphere was very polite and no one was playing with their devices or taking any pictures so i felt inhibited to photograph, but i did take one in the elevator
