She’s 46 today…
On Friday she celebrated with her staff (pictured). Last night the president took her to a surprise dinner bash at Restaurant Nora, an organic restaurant in Dupont Circle:
[A] special lamb dish for her, and pan-seared Maine lobster and saffron risotto for him. They drank Spottswood sauvignon blanc. And after nearly four hours of partying in an upstairs private room at Nora, the president took photos with the wait staff and waded through the kitchen, shaking hands with the cooks and waiters and thanking them for their efforts to fete his wife, who turns 46 on Sunday.
A crowd gathered on the corner and sang “Happy Birthday” to the popular first lady as she left the restaurant.
The NYTimes notes that the choice of Restaurant Nora was consistent with the first couple’s pattern of choosing restaurants that align with Mrs. Obama’s sustainable eating initiative — and bets the first couple will pick Farmers & Fishers for their next restaurant outing.
