Sometimes, the day job has its perks: thanks to some folks I do business with, I was invited on Wednesday to Craftsteak for a five course meal cooked by Top Chef star Tom Colicchio, paired with wines from California's Simi Winery. As if that weren't enough, six-time Grammy winner John Legend played a 45 minute set, for a crowd that numbered less than 100. Legend performed from the piano, showing classical-grade chops with a clear, clarion voice that sounded like the next coming of Stevie Wonder. He filled in his own set list with requests from the crowd, and was both gracious and charming in his banter with Colicchio. Hard to imagine a finer night out in Manhattan. (More pics below.)
