Billy Joel ducks into Devon for lunch

Billy Joel was spied outside Rouge (205 S. 18th) looking at its menu this afternoon when a woman approached to ask the Piano Man if he needed a restaurant recommendation. Joel said he was meeting people at Devon (225 S. 18th) and indeed he did. Joel was seen there eating crab cakes and mahi-mahi clams. The singer, who has battled an alcohol problem in the past, drank at least one glass of wine with his lunch, according to an eyewitness. Joel's here rehearsing with the Philadelphia Orchestra for a performance with them Saturday night at the Academy Ball.
