What is the best time to go to The Four Seasons in New York to see all the moguls, etc?

Question

or is its open time between 12:30-2 always filled with them

Answer 1

You never know. Lunch or dinner is the only time you might catch some celebs.

Answer 2

Great question!

Each Wednesday, from 3:00-5:00 p.m. is what they call "Mogul Time."  That is the time when all the moguls gather to drink 100 year old brandy, smoke incredibly big Cuban cigars and sit in giant vintage leather chairs.  They discuss mogul things like "how they rigged the '00 and '04 elections", "how to choose a great Tawny port" and "what is the best way to make a bundle over night."  Apparently, they are attracted by the free appetizers (pot stickers, hot wings, chicken fingers, etc.)...even a mogul loves to be frugal and "keep it real."

Of course, some times are more abundant with moguls than others but even under the most dire circumstances you can always manage to see (and shout out to) at least one member of the Bush family or a member of Puff Daddy's NYC posse and most definitely the guy from the Monopoly game.  By the way, when I was there in March '07 Omarosa from "The Apprentice" was the hostess...that woman is tall...and very attractive!

Have a great time "mogul-watching".  I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Go any day for the power lunch.  Insist on the Pool Room when you make your reservation!

Answer 4

About twenty years ago this was "THE PLACE TO BE".  In 2008, there are better places for Mogul Watching
