Obama in the Village?

So, I took the kids out to a playground over on St. Luke's Place in the West Village this afternoon. While Charlotte & Oliver were happily running around, I couldn't help noticing a disconcerting preponderance of police helicopters circling overhead. When it was time to go, the entirety of the Village was flooded with police cars and 6th Avenue was restricted to one thin line of traffic moving at a snail's pace. It was quite a chaotic scene. I asked around. Rumor had it that President Obama was having an early dinner at Blue Hill on Waverly. I've been to Blue Hill once. It's excellent.
