Friend of AHT Fred Schwarz emailed us with this heads-up. —The Mgmt.
Here’s the opening paragraph from an interview with Norah Jones in the March issue of Blender (not available online as far as I can tell):
Norah Jones could really go for a hamburger. Nestled in an armchair in a downtown Manhattan recording studio on a wintry afternoon, she has a craving no mere soy substitute can satisfy. "I’ve been on a health kick lately," she says, patting her tummy. "Right now I’m trying to make tofu taste good. But I love me some burgers. I used to live over by this place Corner Bistro, in the West Village? Man, that’s a damn good burger. I’d end up there at four in the morning, really, really drunk. You don’t even remember it till you wake up the next morning—like, why do I smell like onions?”
As a bonus, Mr. Schwarz wrote us a little Norah Jones–burger limerick:
There once was a singer named Norah
Who said, "I could surely go for a
Yummy burger. Bean curd
Tastes completely absurd
And I'm so tired of vegetable pakora.
Thanks, Fred!

Seriously? The Johnny Rockets on 8th does far better burgers than the Corner Bistro. And anyway, if I'm in that neighborhood jonesing for a burger I'm going to the Spotted Pig!
What a gal! I'm a huuuuuge Corner Bistro fan. I lived a few blocks from it for a year. I loved going there for a beer and a burger at 2am. Guess I should have stayed up later and I could have dined with Ms Jones!
