Besos for Bezos!
Billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiance Lauren Sanchez were spotted at the buzzy new Frog Club with friends on Friday, where the table dropped $1,000 on one cheeky purchase.
The frog-themed spot, which serves up drinks like the Dirty Kermit, is known for putting stickers over patrons phones, making it a perfect spot for celebs to get some privacy.
The new spot by Liz Johnson is located in the old Chumley’s space. Instagram/frogclubnyc The spot has a list of rules. Instagram/frogclubnycSnapping pictures will get people thrown out, according to their list of rules — which also includes a ban on lying about your birthday and asking for a free meal.
Spies tell Page Six that the couple and pals dined on escargot casserole and burgers and plunked down $1000 for the “Chef’s Kiss Special,” which gets the diner a smooch on the cheek from Chef Liz Johnson.

We hear Bezos left his mark, signing a plate before they left.
The hotspot is Johnson’s first since she had a messy split from her husband Will Aghajanian. She accused him of assault and torturing numerous kittens and he accused her trying to burn him in the kitchen.
Bezos is also a fan of Johnson’s LA spot Horses. Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images We’re told Bezos signed a plate before leaving. WWD via Getty ImagesThe pair ran Horses in Los Angeles, of which Bezos was also a fan.
Johnson and Aghajanin met working at the famed Noma in Copenhagen and went on to become known for sophisticated fare at Catbird Seat in Nashville and Mimi in the West Village.
The tag line for the new spot is: “Frog Club is the New Yorkiest room in New York and it will leave you wondering, what happened at 86 Bedford last night?”
