NEW YORK (AP) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was spotted dining out at a New York City restaurant two days after testing positive for the coronavirus.

The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee’s visit Wednesday to the upscale Manhattan eatery Elio’s drew attention from photo-snapping bystanders. It came shortly after she was in the news over her positive test for COVID-19, which had forced the postponement of a trial in which she is suing The New York Times.

Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines call for people to isolate themselves for at least five days after the onset of symptoms or a positive test.

Palin had also dined at the same restaurant on Saturday, despite a city rule requiring patrons dining indoors at restaurants to be vaccinated.

Palin, 57, has publicly said she won’t get the shot.


Elio’s, which is known for a celebrity clientele, said earlier this week that it had erred in not checking Palin’s vaccination status during her first visit.

The restaurant said in a statement that Palin returned Wednesday evening “to apologize for the fracas around her previous visit.” For her second visit, first reported by the web site Mediaite, Palin dined in a heated outdoor shelter, where vaccination isn’t required.

Messages were sent Thursday via Palin’s website, to her lawyers and to a spokesperson who has worked with her.

Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams, tweeted Thursday that if Palin “actually ‘loved New York City’ as she claims, she would stay home and isolate.”

Palin’s libel suit against The Times, over the wording of an editorial about gun violence, is now set to begin Feb. 3.

Just wondering if adams spokes person said same to AOC when she tested positive for Covid and still went out partying. Many of us wish she’d go to AK too

Good for u Sarah. Show them to stop bothering us with covid, time to move on shows over folks. And let’s give her the benefit of doubt- maybe her symptoms started days before her positive test so she started her count earlier. Either way the covid tests are ridiculously unreliable. The CDC has already admitted that tests can show positive for months after illness.

It seems she is too ill to go to court, but not so ill as to postpone a nice lunch.

I’m sure this “own the Acela-corridor libs” act plays well in AK. Which it is intended to accomplish.

Thank you palin for showing nyc enough of this covid nonsense. Move on. The whole testing postive thing is stupid. Every yuzel tests postive. It’s mostly spread before the test results show postive anyhow . Enough of that vaccines and tests. Live with it and move on like in FL. I support Palin
