Lunch: Special Evening Edition as Michael's Celebrates 20 Years - Posted 3 days, 1 hour ago
DIANE CLEHANE
As much as we enjoy observing the social customs of the various media tribes during our Wednesday lunches at Michael's, we jumped at the chance to mingle with the natives last night as they roamed free from the pecking order in the dining room. Michael McCarty threw himself quite... [FishBowlNY]
It's Spin City for Moguls & Machers at Michael's - Posted September 30, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
The flacks were certainly out in full force today at Michael's. It seemed anyone who was (or represents) anyone was out and about with something to spin. Well, at least it's a sign that life goes on in Manhattan no matter how bleak New York magazine says our financial... [FishBowlNY]

Lunch: Christiane Amanpour Draws an A-List Crowd - Posted September 16, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
On the menu at Michael's today: a tasty stew of media mavens and moguls with a heaping helping of famous faces on the side. We could barely keep up with the goings-on in the dining room, since every other minute there was some boldface name heading to the Garden... [FishBowlNY]

Lunch: The Usual Suspects Today -- But Sarah Palin Was Here Last Night! - Posted August 5, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
Michael's was packed with plenty of familiar faces this afternoon. Seems the gang was out in force before disappearing for the true dog days of August. The real side show in the dining room took place last night, when none other than Sarah Palin dropped in with Bob Barnett... [FishBowlNY]

Lunch: Hoda Kotb & Bravo's Housewives Hold Court - Posted June 17, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
It was SRO at Michael's today, and although the place was filled to the brim with movers and shakers of every stripe, all eyes were on table one: Today's Hoda Kotb presided over a raucous lunch with a trio of Real Housewives from Bravo's compulsively watchable franchise. Tongues wagged... [FishBowlNY]

Lunch: Barry Diller (on a Vespa!), Harvey Weinstein & Judge Judy - Posted May 6, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
Maybe it was because it finally stopped raining for five minutes, but the power-lunchers were out in force today at Michael's. There was a crowd gathering in the lounge before noon waiting for tables. Of course, most of the regulars breezed in at their appointed hours, making sure they... [FishBowlNY]

Lunch: Happy Birthday, Cathie Black! - Posted April 29, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
We missed Evander Holyfield by a day, but there was plenty of action to keep our attention in Michael's jam-packed dining room today. Between the surprise birthday party for Hearst Magazines president Cathie Black on Table One, a smattering of fashionistas, and the bumper crop of beauty industry bigwigs... [FishBowlNY]
Lunch: Dishing With The Usual Suspects - Posted March 18, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
The regulars were out in force today at Michael's as media mavens, moguls and social types were deep in conversation around the jam-packed dining room. Everyone, it seems, had plenty to talk about, including the terrible news of Natasha Richardson's skiing accident. "I can't believe it," one diner told... [FishBowlNY]

The streets may be eerily empty these days (at least you can always get a cab), but you can pretty much count on a full house on Wednesdays at Michael's. Today the dining room was buzzing as media mavens and a fair share of fashionistas made the scene. Before... [FishBowlNY]

DIANE CLEHANE
As I've been reporting for weeks, it was SRO at Michael's today as the movers and shakers, undeterred by the unsettling economic news, were out in full force plotting their next big move -- or looking for a safe place to land. On the menu today: plenty of talk... [FishBowlNY]
Lunch at Michael's: Peggy Siegal: 'I Want It Now' - Posted June 20, 2007
Perhaps it was the schizophrenic weather that kept most of the familiar faces and celebrity diners away. It was a pretty subdued crowd at 55th & Fifth today. No big stars of stage, screen and nary an editor in sight. (Okay, Kathie Lee Gifford was there.) Since there wasn't much star... [FishBowlNY]
