PHOTOS! Here are pictures of Anderson Cooper friend Benjamin Maisani. Benjamin Maisani is reportedly co-owner of Eatern Bloc, an East Village bar.

Anderson Cooper and Benjamin Maisani were snapped recently with sport bikes. Benjamin Maisani wore a polo shirt and aviator shades. Cooper opted for a polo of the same brand. How ironic. Both wore jeans with Cooper adding in a Nike hat.

Cooper, alone, is now reportedly on vacation in Jaipur, India. The New York Post says “Anderson’s room has a large round bathtub. On the first night it was filled with bubbles and sprinkled with red rose petals.”

The location is the Rambagh Palace that costs a reported $3200 a night and features garden views of the Maharajan palace.

Reportedly, Benjamin Maisani is Parisian and a former bartender at an establishment named Barracuda. No comment by either to the report.
