"Just think - women didn't win the right to vote until she was 13 years old," Brown said in a statement. "She has exercised her franchise in every election going back decades."

The grill's owner, John Konstin, will be picking up the tab.

Tuesday's lunch at John's Grill, listed at 63 Ellis St., ran from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., with Mirigan scheduled to arrive at 12:30 p.m.
