The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance: A Memoir - Plot & Excerpts
In November 2006, my time was up. I was jobless and on my own again. Luckily Vinny, one of the Letterman security guards, also worked the door at a restaurant downtown. It wasn’t just any restaurant. It was the Tribeca location of Nobu, partly owned by Robert De Niro. Nobu was the most famous sushi restaurant in town. “I don’t have any restaurant experience,” I warned Vinny. “Bubbles,” he said (this was his nickname for me), “I’ve seen you bouncing around in your Letterman sweater. If you can look pretty in that thing, you can get this job.” He was right. I was hired as a hostess in December. And of all my jobs in New York City, this one was the biggest window into the world, or at least a particular kind of world—one I was never supposed to be a part of. Going to Nobu was the opposite of going to church. Any given night, five famous people were dining there. In fact, one of my opening duties was to take out the reservation sheet and highlight all the VIP guests. Mandy Moore-VIP, Denzel Washington-VIP, Leonardo DiCaprio-VIP.
