Lunch: Charlie Rose, Judi Giuliani & Pals Dig Into 2010

It was back to business at Michael’s today as the city’s famous and fabulous trickled back into town, determined to get the new decade off to the right start. “I feel cautiously optimistic about 2010,” one regular told me. “You can’t hide under your desk forever. It’s time to go out and make things happen.” The scene was a little subdued, but plenty of the regulars were at their perches. One little birdie tells me George Lucas was in the dining room for a power lunch on Monday.
