New York (TADIAS) — Here is another fun graduation season story: Last week New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter chose Ethiopian food for graduation lunch with her family at San Jose’s famous Walia Restaurant – located not very far from Santa Clara University, her alma mater, in California.
“The Walia crew prepared special Ethiopian traditional dishes in honor of the graduate [Chiara de Blasio] and invited family members,” the owners told Tadias. “The daughter and the Mayor said that there were no other choices for the luncheon but Walia. We are greatly honored by their choice.”
It’s not the first time that the De Blasio family dined at Walia, however, as they were sighted last June enjoying injera at the same popular spot.
