Lunch at Michael's: Gridlock Alert

Crushing citywide gridlock be damned. Nothing keeps Manhattan’s news makers and spinmeisters from lunching with their powerful peers.

The scene at Michael’s could have used their own traffic controls as the bustling dining room was packed from wall-to-wall with bold faced names that included CNN’s Jeff Greenfield, ad man Jerry Della Femina and Reese Schoenfeld.
