LAST MEAL
"Is the Italian food good here?
Yeah, try the veal; it's the best in the city."
In a city full of restaurants where it's hard to get a table,
the absolute hardest reservation in town to acquire is at Rao's. The
uptown Italian spot does one seating a night and your best bet at
grabbing a reservation is if one of the regulars drops dead. Last
night, "old-time Mobster" Louis Barone vacated one of Rao's spots by
href="http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/14245.htm">shooting
another customer to death in full view of the tiny restaurant's
clientele. He and his dining companion were collared by an off-duty
cop who happened to be eating there. The above quote is, of course,
from the scene where Michael Corleone kills Sgt. McCluskey and Sollozzo
in The
Godfather.
