Joe Biden's arrival in New York City caused traffic chaos Sunday night as he took his family for dinner at a swanky Italian restaurant frequented by celebs including Alec Baldwin.
The president's Air Force One touched down at JFK ahead of the UN General Assembly conference next week, where climate change, poverty and Russia's invasion of Ukraine will be top of the agenda.
But his first stop was Il Cantinori, where he enjoyed a meal with several relatives. They were believed to have been toasting his granddaughter Finnegan's 23rd birthday.
First Lady Jill Biden and their daughter Ashley Biden were spotted at the family outing - although Finnegan's father Hunter Biden, who faces three federal charges over his purchase of gun - was not pictured with them.
Biden's downtown trip snarled traffic as police blocked roads in busy parts of Manhattan to clear the way for his motorcade to travel from the heliport to the fancy hotspot - where he received a standing ovation from patrons.
