"Carmine’s boasts a private secure entrance that leads into one of its private dining rooms. This design was intentional, as owner Jeff Bank planned this entrance for individuals with security details. Since then it has been used by Senate and House leadership, members of the Supreme Court, cabinet secretaries, and more. However, when then-Vice President Joe Biden came to Carmine’s, he hilariously just walked in through the front door." - Vinciane Ngomsi
