Elio’s
On Saturday night, according to the New York Times, Palin dined indoors at Elio’s, an upscale Italian joint located in the Upper East Side. While Elio’s is required by local law to ensure that all patrons show proof of vaccination to dine indoors, Palin was apparently able to slip through. She received her positive test results on Monday, meaning anyone else present at Elio’s on Saturday might have gotten a free side of coronavirus exposure.
One of the restaurant’s managers, Luca Guaitolini, told the Times that Palin might have been able to exploit a loophole by attending with a regular customer known to be vaccinated and who thus wasn’t screened.
“She probably just walked in and strolled over,” Guaitolini told the Times, adding the restaurant is “trying to get to the bottom of this.”
