-- DIANE CLEHANE
Before dashing off to their summer cottages in the Hamptons for the long holiday weekend, the media mavens and moguls were at their regular perches at Michael's today for a bit of last minute networking. It was SRO at the bar and the dining room was jam pa... [SocialTimes.com]

Chris Matthews Stops by Michael's - Posted September 8, 2010
DIANE CLEHANE
Now that summer is unofficially over and the glitterati have shuttered their cottages in the Hamptons, the regulars have begun to trickle into Michael's for catch-up power lunches. Things weren't exactly operating at full tilt today, but there were enough media mavens and moguls scattered around the dini... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Soledad O'Brien Talks Helping Haiti's Children - Posted April 14, 2010
DIANE CLEHANE
The media mob was out in force today at Michael's and we spotted plenty of table hopping between bites. It was fascinating to see all the head honchos make the rounds while checking in with the competition. Who needs to eat anyway?
I was joined today by CNN's anchor and... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Michael Douglas Turns Heads; Rudy & Judy Giuliani Go Low Profile - Posted December 16, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
I got an early Christmas present at Michael's today when I got the chance to chat with one of my favorite actors, Michael Douglas, who has been something of a regular in the dining room this f... [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 ... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Cindi Leive, Harold Ford, Jr. & The Gang - Posted June 10, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
We heard we missed quite a scene yesterday when the dining room was filled with the likes of dirty joke diva Sarah Silverman, ... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Dishing With Dolly Parton - Posted April 22, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
Sure, it's fun checking in with the media mavens and moguls during our weekly Wednesday outings at Michael's, but sometimes it's the random celebrity sighting that can be the most entertaining. When I heard that ... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Ben Bradlee -- Fewer Newspapers May Not Be 'Such A Bad Thing' - Posted April 1, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
It was truly a head-spinning afternoon at Michael's today. The joint was jumping with so many movers and shakers we could barely keep up with all the goings on, but we did a few laps around the dining room to catch up with the boldface names and those media... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: Bill Bradley, Norman Pearlstine & The Media Mavens - Posted March 25, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
It's a lo-cal edition of lunch today. We're chalking it up to near Spring-like weather (I don't know about you, but I'm burning my winter coat when we finally have two days over 60) and plenty of recent rumblings about companies tightening the reins on expense accounts. What's a... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch: A Heaping Helping of The Usual Suspects - Posted March 4, 2009
DIANE CLEHANE
It's a lo-cal edition of 'Lunch' today. After all, you can't expect to indulge in a diet rich in celebs and boldface names every week. We've spoiled you, I know. (By the way, if you're looking to chat with some big-time media mavens and news makers, don't miss the... [FishbowlNY]
Chambermaid Book Party - Posted June 29, 2007
Does a successful book party equal book sales success? If so, then Saira Rao's first novel, Chambermaid, is headed for stratospheric heights. The party was a rager, with over 200 people in attendance. Held in a Fifth Avenue Park-facing apartment, it was a delightful if homogeneous mash-up of well-heeled lawyers,... [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.... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch at Michael's: Brokaw & Burns Break Bread - Posted March 28, 2007
The scene at 55th & Fifth was bustling as always thanks to one iconic newsman (we always sit up a little straighter when Tom Brokaw is in the room), a mix of movie moguls and the usual roundup of public relations pitchmen and women. Peggy Siegal... [FishbowlNY]
Lunch at Michael's: Gay Talese, John Huey and The Guys - Posted January 17, 2007
The scene at 55th and Fifth resembled something of a men's club today where the power suits -- and ties -- ruled. Media machers including Time Inc.'s editor-in-chief John Huey, ad man Jerry Della Femina and the sartorially splendid Ga... [FishbowlNY]
