Minding our own business, celebrating a quiet Valentine’s at our beloved Musso and Frank, when up walks our good friend Adam Parfrey. He tells us we should come to his table on our way out, so that he might introduce us to his dinner companion: GORE VIDAL!

Impossible as it is to fathom, I was without digital camera; you’ll just have to take my word for it.

We did send him a Potato a la Coop though – we weren’t raised without manners.
