This week’s overview of celebrity dining features our favorite characters, except they’re acting completely out of character. Snooki, Ronnie, and Sammi Sweatheart, for example, betrayed their Italian roots as soon as they crossed the Hudson to Manhattan, picking Japanese fusion joint SushiSamba Seven over many of the West Village’s great Italian eateries. The momentary lapse on their part was made up for when they made their way to Armani Exchange after lunch.
