Snooty Dining Travel: Lance Armstrong Turned Away at East Harlem Restaurant?

This story is so fantastical, we're tempted to couch it in a variety of "Law & Order"-esque disclaimers, but the New York Post reports that seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong was "unable to be seated" at an exclusive New York restaurant this weekend.

Armstrong and current flame Kate Hudson reportedly showed up at Rao's, tried to get one of Rao's 10 tables and were turned away.

Rao's is so exclusive that you've gotta reserve months--or even years--in advance, even if you're super-famous. We're not much for biking, but you'd think a guy that can pull Ashley Olsen could get a two-top for dinner. Guess not!
