Oprah Winfrey’s Special Bond with Gayle King is widely recognized, and recently, she surprised her long-time friend and CBS Mornings co-anchor with a secret birthday dinner at one of the most exclusive restaurants in New York City.
Gayle was initially shocked upon arrival at Ci Siamo, overwhelmed by the crowd, causing her to momentarily drop her purse.
After 50 years of strong friendship, Oprah delivered a heartfelt surprise for Gayle King’s 70th birthday. Gayle was in disbelief as everyone joined in singing the birthday song, making it a touching and unforgettably joyous occasion. Oprah’s emotional tribute brought many guests to tears.
The celebration was hosted at a lavish restaurant, highlighted by the Michelin Guide in Chelsea, Manhattan, offering a serene private dining experience perfect for this special occasion.
“Chef Hillary Sterling’s dishes are incredibly inviting. The caramelized onion torta, with its blend of melting onions in a flaky crust topped with two varieties of pecorino cheese and cooked in a wood-burning oven, is a standout. The menu features rich pastas and robust proteins ideal for sharing. A delightful lemon torta with mascarpone and olive oil serves as a perfect meal conclusion.” – Michelin Guide
