There I was on a rainy day last weekend eating carrot-ginger soup at Cafe Du Soleil on 105th Street, and who’s sitting at the table next to me? Mary J. Blige. It turns out one of the great R&B-pop singers of our lifetimes lives on the Upper West Side. Who knew? Another fun fact: she’s got Synesthesia, that condition that makes you see colors when you hear music.
After eating, she let waiters and customers take pictures with her. A class act.
