Celebrity Sightings: Like the rest of us, celebrities often unwind from a long day of work by heading to their favorite restaurant. With an eclectic mix of restaurants lining the streets of New York City, chances are good that your favorite celeb could be inside the corner eatery wining and dining. While celebrity spotting can often be hit or miss, there are certain New York City staples known for packing in the likes of New York's hottest A-Listers.
Victor's Café
The Cuban-inspired cuisine and mojitos served at Victor's Café are enough to keep Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony coming back for more. The duo has been sighted on more than one occasion dining at the local café. Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan are also among the list of celebrities known to frequent Victor's Café.
