Will A-Listers Return to Socialista After Hepatitis A Scare?

This past week things got stirred up at celebrity hotspot Socialista with a bit of a a Hepatitis A scare. Amongst the hundreds urged to get vaccinated were celebrities who attended actor Ashton Kutcher’s 30th birthday party at the bar; those on the Hepatitis A-list included Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow.

When health officials checked out the joint, they found no traces of soap, meaning the infected bartender was handling garnishes and glasses to the patrons with unclean Hep hands! No word yet on which celebs are in for a bevy of un-stylish symptoms (yellowing of eyes and skin, fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea) for the next month.

One patron, after getting vaccinated, told WNBC, “I just can’t believe that in a restaurant as fancy as it was, that they would have this problem. It’s kind of a pain in the butt to come out here and deal with this but you have to do it.” Still, only around 90 of the reported 800 went in to get the city's free shot.

As patrons play the waiting game to see if their health will take a turn for the worst, Socialista will also be holding their breath to see if the club gets a bad rep for this. At least one regular told The Post "It's so hard to get in there in the first place, then you finally make it in and this happens. It's not worth it." Another vowed never to return, saying "It's pretty messed up. We should at least get a refund." Armin Armiri, who runs the club, says they plan to stay open and are concerned for their customers.
