By now, everyone knows that one-time presidential candidate John Edwards cheated on his wife (and possibly fathered a child) with Rielle Hunter, an underqualified video producer that he met in a bar.

Well, the NY Post reported that the bar where the two infamously had their first meeting was inside the Loews Regency Hotel on Park Avenue. Edwards now joins the ranks of politicians who start the road to career suicide by having extramarital affairs in a hotel.

The bar could possibly be the hotel's Library Bar which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as drinks. Here's a quote from the wesbite:

The best people watching indeed. We're sure the National Enquirer would have paid loved to have been a fly on the wall in the bar when Edwards met Hunter.

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards was ambushed by National Enquirer reporters as he attempted to visit his alleged mistress, Rielle Hunter, and their love child at the hotel on Monday night. From the NE:

At 9:45 p.m. (PST) Monday, Edwards appeared at the hotel, and was dropped off at a side entrance. NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporter Alan Butterfield witnessed the ex-senator get out of a BMW driven by a male companion and stroll into the hotel.

Said Butterfield: "Edwards was not carrying anything. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel.
