When I drew a doodle of top New York restaurateur, Sirio Maccioni ages ago
I never thought they would include it in this new Rizzoli book, A Table At Le Cirque, on the history of the restaurant.
Did you ever visit the original Le Cirque on East 65th street?
Here's Sirio in front of the fabulous murals of singerie reminescent of those at Chateau Chantilly.
Le Cirque was where the 'Ladies who lunch' had to show up.
Everyone who was anyone showed up.
New York's top chefs graced its portals.

Gorgeous model Carmen Dell'Orfice nuzzeling Sirio in the book.
Last night at the book party, Carmen was again nuzzeling Sirio with his executive chef, Olivier Reginensi.
The champagne was flowing
Hor d'oeuvres reflected
Recipes in the book - these divine shrimp fritters.
Mini desserts too, even macarons - gone in the wink of an eyelash.
The newest Le Cirque is at 151 East 58th street.
The restaurant is very glam and gracious

Sirio plus his three sons, Mauro, Marco and Mario are still at the helm, ring masters of the newest Le Cirque.
