Al Gore Keeps It Local at Hotel Vintage Park
If you watched "30 Rock" last night then you may have seen former Vice President Al Gore make a confusing cameo as an eco-concerned janitor for Rockefeller Center (above.) But if you were dining at Tulio Ristorante inside the Hotel Vintage Park in Seattle the other night, then you would have seen Al Gore live, in person.
The veep was in town for a town hall meeting to promote his new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis. He stopped in at Tulio which serves authentic Italian cuisine, for some halibut washed down with cabernet. According to the hotel peeps, he was very gracious to the staff and shook everyone's hand who came by to said hi. Some girls also said he was quite handsome. Hmm, he did look slimmer on "30 Rock" last night.
The Tulio is a respectable choice for Gore as the restaurant uses fresh local ingredients in their dishes and it's also located within a Kimpton Hotel which has the Kimpton EarthCare program in place. Additionally, the entire hotel was inspired by Washington Wine Country and each room is dedicated to a particular Washington winery. And of course, at the regular daily wine-tasting hour in the lobby, Washington wines are served.
Should you like to sleep where Al Gore dined (um, that sounded kinda creepy) then room rates at the Hotel Vintage Park start at around $269 a night.
