Lunching with "the people"

Another item on the Hollywood list was lunching where "the people" do lunch. Although that can be many places in L.A. There is only one original, the only one inside a hotel a town was named after. The Polo Lounge in the Beverly Hills Hotel.

This was the day it started to pour, and luckily for us, a little rain there, a little shuffle here, and a rogue hostess got us the best table in the house. A green leather booth with a panorama of the entire dining room. We even had our own private piano player. People actually thought we were part of "the people" with that booth. Everytime people passed they looked us up and down, we looked them up and down to see who is who. We actually saw many on "them"

Spike Lee, Sophia Coppola, Catherine O'Hara, Frannie Lebowitz, others that may have been "people" and people difinitely thought Brian was "people."(I may have forgotten some, feel free to leave the people I forgot in the comment section)

Best place to see celebrities hands down is the Polo Lounge on Oscar weekend. Save up, because lunch can cost an arm and a leg, and the food was meh. You are paying for the atmosphere for sure.  I think my arnold palmer was $11. Breakfast on a weekday is a much better buy and you can take the jams home as door prizes.

It was nice to feel like you were part of the scene for the day.
