Cindy Adams shares a lighthearted account of nearly missing a phone call from Cardinal Dolan after the papal conclave. Amidst her mundane household activities, a language barrier between her housekeeper, Eva, and Cardinal Dolan leads to humorous miscommunication. The article also touches on the iconic Lobel's steakhouse, known for its premium cuts of meat, and its new location at Rockefeller Center. The narrative captures the essence of New York City's vibrant character while blending personal anecdotes with local culinary landmarks.
