The actress didn’t seem to mind waiting in line for 10 minutes to get a table at Don Angie, an Italian restaurant in the West Village neighborhood.
The restaurant, known for its salads and lasagna, was packed when Blake stopped by.
I was with a pretty blonde friend who looked like the cover girl.
When the two were told that they would have to wait at least 10 minutes to get a table, they smiled and said okay.
“They were like standing in the middle of the restaurant being very calm,” the spy told the site.
And they asked for a lot, as the spy said: ‘They ate everything legitimate.’ I eat everything on the menu. The table for four was full of food.’
There was also ‘a fun cocktail’ on the table.
“Some fans walked up and (Lively) took a selfie with them while they were eating dinner,” the spy said.

Ryan Reynolds’ wife was also “very kind and polite to the staff.”
‘They were also very kind to the hostess, who apologized when the table was not ready. “They talked to her for a while,” the source said.
Lively “happily took photos with some fans who were also dining at the restaurant.”
“She was very warm and personable,” the source adds.
This comes two months after Blake was accused of being a mean girl. Areporter has claimed that interviewing Lively made him want to “quit his job” amid the ongoing It Ends With Us drama, calling their conversation the “most awkward situation he’s ever experienced.”
Blake has found herself embroiled in controversy as rumors of a feud between her and her co-star, Justin Baldoni, continue to make headlines.
Amid the drama, award-winning journalist Kjersti Flaa criticized the Gossip Girl alum, saying she considered leaving the industry after a 2016 interview with Blake went wrong.
He uploaded a clip of the awkward encounter to his YouTube channel titled: “The Blake Lively interview that made me want to quit my job.”
Blake and fellow actress Parker Posey had sat down with Kjersti, 51, originally from Norway but now living in California, in 2016 to talk about her film Cafe Society.
One journalist claimed that interviewing Lively made him want to “quit his job,” calling their conversation the “most awkward situation he had ever experienced.”
Blake found herself embroiled in controversy recently amid rumors of an ongoing feud between her and her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.
But when Kjersti congratulated the actress, who at the time was expecting her second child with husband Reynolds, on her pregnancy, things immediately became tense.
Blake seemed not at all amused by the comment and responded with a sarcastic joke.
“First of all, congratulations on your small raise,” gushed Kjersti, founder of Content Now TV.
“Congratulations on your little bundle,” Blake responded, as the interviewer laughed nervously.
‘What’s wrong with my belly?’ Parker joined in and stood up to show her butt to the camera.
Kjersti, who seemed taken aback by Blake’s response, then sat awkwardly as the two ladies joked about their various “hits” together.
And things got worse when Kjersti asked the women her first question.
Since the film took place in the 1930s, Kjersti wondered if they liked wearing old school clothes in the film.

But Blake didn’t like the question, and when Parker started to answer, she interjected, “Everyone wants to talk about clothes, but I wonder if they would ask men about clothes.”
“I would,” Kjersti promised.
Again, the ladies began talking to each other instead of to Kjersti, while talking about some of their favorite outfits worn by the men in the film.
The awkward interview went on for a few more minutes, before a defeated Kjersti concluded.
“Sitting down with Blake Lively and her co-star Parker Posey for Cafe Society is the most awkward interview situation I’ve ever experienced,” she wrote in the caption.
‘Isn’t it okay to congratulate someone on their pregnancy or ask another woman about the outfit she wears in a movie?’
