Rufus Wainwright's debaucherous days are behind him. The Canadian crooner has strayed from rampant ways, and has more recently swapped the night life for the restaurant one. "I go to a lot of restaurants. I'm a big fan of this place that a lot of people go to called Omen. It's on Thompson Street in SoHo and has been around for years. I always see Patti Smith there, which is great. She's perfect for a Japanese restaurant. It's a perfect frame for her. And I also love Gascogne, which is on Eighth Avenue. It's a French place in the gay district. I also love Café des Artistes, which is uptown and a very old school place. Very expensive, but very good. You're mostly paying for the lighting, but believe me, it's perfect."
