First Lady Michelle Obama was one of a group of women who attended a birthday luncheon for an unnamed friend at Radici near Eastern Market Sunday afternoon.
A sign at Radici appeared this morning announcing an unusual mid-day private event on a busy Sunday morning.
After the arrival of the First Lady, the celebrity alert attracted a large crowd of Sunday market goers.Click to enlarge.
Security, as they say, was tight.
The pay-off for those standing in the chilly temperatures came at 3:30 pm, in the form of a glimpse of the First Lady – in the cream colored suit – exiting Radici’s
This was the scene inside just after the First Lady departed
Enrico Sasso, whose wife Bridget along with business partner Phil Friedman of Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina owns Radici, told CHC that Michelle Obama “had a good time.” Asked what was on the menu, he smiled and said, “Some things are confidential.”
