Celebrities at Large: Spring Two-fer Edition

I had a New York City celebrity two-fer yesterday: First, I spotted Vincent D'Onofrio and his two young consorts looking for an open table at Level, a trashy commuter bar across from Penn Station. The only good thing about this place is the giant outdoor balcony that's perfect for watching celebrities as they wander around in search of a quiet spot to get their mid-afternoon drink on. Vinnie D should've told a hostess that he's a big star (Law & Order! Full Metal Jacket! Mystic Pizza!) because the poor guy and his pals ended up at a crappy table downstairs where they usually seat the foreign tourists who can't speak enough English to complain.

Later that afternoon, I was nearly run over by Peter Dinklage and his enormous dog as they barreled down a street in the Village. I don't want to be insensitive, but with the right saddle and some stirrups, he really could ride that thing. Hey, it's New York City – who cares about a midget riding a dog! Most importantly, both Petey D and his dog were dressed entirely in black on a beautiful sunny day, so you know they're cool.
