On Saturday night, President Barack Obama took Michelle out for a night in the Big Apple.
They arrived at JFK on a small jet before taking a helicopter into NYC for dinner at hot spot Blue Hill.
Fellow diners had little warning that the prez and his wife would be eating in their midst.
One couple’s purse and jacket were quickly checked by Secret Service agents, and then in walked the president.
Their night didn’t end after dinner…
Next, it was off to see Joe Turner’s Come and Gone on Broadway before the couple headed back to Capitol Hill.

In typical Manhattan style, diners at a Greenwich Village restaurant Saturday night pretended not to notice the famous couple at dinner – until after dessert.
“Nobody bothered them,” Rachel Levit of Manhattan said of the First Couple. “They sat and had their private meal.
“When they stood up to leave,” she continued, “this blasé New York crowd stood up and exploded in spontaneous applause.”
As President Obama and his wife, Michelle, ate their date night meal at the classy Blue Hill restaurant, most of the others at the eatery tried not to stare.
“He was amazing,” Susan Korchak said. “It was great. She was very tall – statuesque and gorgeous.”
“They’re a very special couple,” her husband, Richard, said. “It was their date night and it was our date night, too.”
With a table right next to the Obamas, the trick was tougher for Dana Hubbe and her daughter Chloe, 8.
“He was so nice,” Hubbe said, gushing.
She said Obama asked her daughter how old she was and whether she liked living in the city.
Michelle Obama had two martinis, and the President had the wine that accompanied the tasting menu, she said.
Hubbe said she couldn’t help but compliment the First Lady.
“I told her, ‘All politics aside, you look amazing,’” she recalled. “She said it was all about Pilates.”
Levit said the President didn’t make eye contact with the rest of the room during dinner and was locked on his beautiful wife until he got up: “And then he said, ‘Hi, guys.’[NYDN]
