In The Same Week As Katie Holmes, Obama Drops In On The NoMad

Plenty of news sites were abuzz yesterday with Obama's five-hour fundraising stopover in Manhattan—though most of the information was posted as traffic warnings about the multiple streets and avenues that would be closed off by the President's motorcade.

But one detail about the event caught our eye: the venue chosen for the fundraising event (tickets for which went for a reported $40,000 a head) was none other than Manhattan's newest 'in' hotel, The NoMad.

We first heard rumors about the trendy midtown hotel back in 2009, and three years later, it's continuing a reputation as one of Manhattan's most alluring hotel restaurants. What's more, it opened a funky new rooftop space earlier this summer, where tickets—not reservations—are required for entry,

So it doesn't come as much of a surprise that Katie Holmes also chose the NoMad for dinner out on Friday night. Her dining companion, Jonathan Wolfe, caused people to speculate wildly that she was on her first date since leaving Tom Cruise.

Except for the fact that he's actually her lawyer, who's married. And the wife was also present at dinner.

So much for that.

But if it was us on a first date, and we had the opportunity to snuggle up in one of those vintage furniture-laden Atelier rooms, we could see that date ending quite well.

Well What Do You Know!

President Obama is frequently on the road since the campaign period started. He is out there shaking hands and having dinner with people who is generous enough to write him checks that will help fuel his campaign. A <a href="http://australianfundraising.com.au">fundraiser</a> dinner in lavish hotels throughout the country is the most common thing that happens when election is coming up. Funds are essential in helping a candidate run a good campaign. I am just not sure about the Obama campaign but right now he got his hands full. His rival for the presidency, Mitt Romney probably presents a good alternative for America since people have reacted quite positively.
