In the interests of our forthcoming obsessive map of lunch seating arrangements at Michael's — it's kind of like the sex chart on The L Word — here is the single most disturbing roundup of who was lunching yesterday. If you recognize more than 15 names on this list from the dreaded New York Social Diary, you need a Manhattan timeout, for real.

Jann Wenner was lunching. Two tables over was Barbara Walters. In the bay there was a girl s lunch including Toni Goodale, Linda Janklow, Judy Corman, Lynn Sher, Kathy Hoge. Amy Fine Collins and Leila Luce were lunching with Larry Ashmead. Also, investment banker Roger Hertog, editor/writer Myrna Blyth, Jonathan Tisch with Andrew Cuomo, Shubert Theatre head Gerry Schoenfeld, Alberto Vitale of Random House, ICM s Sam Cohn in his signature crewneck pullover with the shirtsleeves underneath rolled up; Sara Fitzmaurice, movie producer Stanley Jaffe, NY Post (and Quest Magazine) columnist Keith Kelly, concert producer Ron Delsener, Lucy Danziger, Steven Greenberg; Paris Hilton s recent public relations adviser, Dan Klores and editor Alice Mayhew, for starters.
