News You Can Use!

The Maoists who edit the New York Times Style and Real Estate sections bring you this report from the about-to-move Four Seasons restaurant. (Martha Stewart gets cookies for her driver, and good for her.) By far my favorite:

Leon Wieseltier

Age: 63

Are you a regular?
I come here sometimes. I’m just lunching with my friend Dr. Kissinger.

What did you have for lunch?
We had the white truffle risotto. Both of us. It was very good.

Tell me about your suit.
The jacket is Zegna. The jeans are Levi’s. The boots are M.L. Leddy’s from Fort Worth, Tex.

And, what will you miss about this place?
It’s spacious. People are spaced far apart so you can actually have conversations.

Do you have a favorite memory here?

Too many; too many.

Nothing that sticks out?
Nothing that I’m going to tell you.
