COVID-positive Sarah Palin has now dined al fresco on the Upper East Side two nights in a row. After eating at Campagnola Tuesday, she returned to Elios last night where she reportedly flouted the citys vax mandate this weekend https://gothamist.com/news/sarah-palin-dined-multiple-restaurants-after-getting-covid

Ina statement to Gothamist, a spokesperson for City Hall encouraged any New Yorker who came into contact with Ms. Palin to get tested, just as we encourage all New Yorkers to get tested regularly, especially those who believe they may have been exposed

(1,153 posts)If she showed a vaxxed card? I suspect she was let in because she is secretly vaxxed, keeping her base by telling them she is not.

(34,094 posts)"The former Alaska governor returned to Elio's restaurant Wednesday night and dined outdoors just days after it was revealed she tested positive for COVID-19. Palin, who has touted the fact that she is not vaccinated, was seen dining inside the Upper East Side Italian restaurant on Saturday, before her diagnosis. The city requires proof of vaccination to eat indoors."
and the link has the photo of her inside with caption: "Sarah Palin dined at Elio's again Wednesday after getting COVID-19"
And WNYC/Gothamist confirmed the former vice presidential candidate dined al fresco Tuesday night at Campagnola, another Italian restaurant in the area.
Tonight Sarah Palin returned to the restaurant to apologize for the fracas around her previous visit, Elios manager, Luca Guaitolini, said in a statement Wednesday night. In accordance with the vaccine mandate and to protect our staff, we seated her outdoors We are a restaurant open to the public, and we treat civilians the same.
Palin is in town to pursue her defamation lawsuit against The New York Times over a 2017 editorial that erroneously tied her rhetoric to the 2011 mass shooting in Arizona.
During a court proceeding Monday, the judge revealed Palin had received positive COVID tests. While the city does not prohibit people with COVID from dining in public, federal and local guidance recommends isolating for five days to protect others from contracting the virus.
She tested positive and is out on the town, said Amanda Wolfe, a 28-year-old Upper East Side resident who walked by Palin eating outdoors Tuesday night. Theres such a lack of care for the people around you and the people in New York City.
On Wednesday, Palin returned to Elios and was witnessed by reporters there as her dinner ended. She was joined by retired hockey player and one-time New York Ranger Ron Duguay, who reportedly was seen with Palin on Saturday as well.

(9,963 posts)It has some additional meanings. Good and bad.
1. From Culture Trip (https://theculturetrip.com/europe/italy/articles/al-fresco-in-italy-has-a-very-different-meaning-than-everywhere-else/)
When tourists are in a restaurant and want to eat outside, they usually say they want to eat al fresco. This is a funny mistake. In Italian, the expression has a completely different meaning. Al fresco literally means in prison! The reason why it means that is probably because in the past, prisons were very cold places with thick walls (fresco means cold).
2. The term has sometimes been used to refer to nudity.

I have heard the word used to mean "naked' or "nude." Makes sense to me... in the open air.
