Gov. David Paterson may or may not know who he’s naming to fill Hillary Clinton’s U.S. Senate seat, but he apparently does know good food.
The gov decided to catch a meal at Restaurant X in Congers last night, arriving about 6 or 6:30 p.m. and staying most of the evening, according to Colleen Scollin, the well-regarded eatery’s main hostess.
Scollin described Paterson as a nice guy who shook hands with patrons and posed for pictures after he finished his meal. Of course, finishing up took a while because Restaurant X, owned by chef Peter Kelly, kept bringing out different dishes for him and his guest to sample. He was there with a lady, but Scollin wasn’t sure of her identity, and “lots of body guards,” she said.
“It was so exciting,” Scollin said. “He was the nicest man.”
