2. They didn't go to dinner--that was an event to name the most influential people.

Mrs. Obama was the keynote speaker. She posed for pics with all of the Top Hundred.

The dress got raves on "The View." Of course, the View ladies were five of the Top Hundred.

8. They were having dinner.

Yes, they had dinner.

Specifically, they dined in the Allen Hall at the Frederick P. Rose Hall.

It's a beautiful place to dine.

:P

11. TMZ suggests it was an intimate dinner. Yes, dinner was served, but they weren't at

a wee bistro--there were several hundred people having dinner in the hall. The caption misleads.

16. Looks like they're having dinner to me.

[MADem]

17. See the other posts. They were having dinner--with a couple of hundred people.

There were ten people at each table. The way that shot is cropped, it looks like they're in a bistro at a cafe table all alone!

A bit less intimate:

Lots of people, lots of food:

18. a big EWWWW to Ann Coulter

if she had stepped to the flotus, i would've kicked her in the adams apple :P

[MADem]

19. I was surprised, too. She managed to keep her mouth shut--what a shock!

Joy Behar probably would have kicked the shit out of her if she tried anything.

3. Looks like it could be a Japanese restaurant - Nobu?

From that blonde/bamboo screen in back.

9. Allen Hall at the Rose Center, I think.

12. Time Warner Center.

Jimmy Fallon hosted the TIME 100, a gala thrown by Time Magazine to celebrate its 100th edition of the 100 Most Influential People special issue. The First Lady, dressed in a black evening gown with black and white crystals, addressed the crowd before dinner. Celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg and Kate Hudson, attended the event. Three different red carpets led the way to the main room inside the Time Warner Center.

13. The Rose Hall is IN the Time Warner Center. Fifth Floor.

"Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, is located in the Time Warner Center, Broadway at 60th Street. Frederick P. Rose Hall can be accessed using the Jazz elevators located on the ground floor of The Shops at Columbus Circle across from Hugo Boss."

Rose Hall at Lincoln Center, part of Time Warner Center. It's complicated.

14. Well, there ya go! Right church, right pew! nt

[NYC_SKP]

15. LOL.

I think the picture did more to suggest an intimate dinner than the headline.

I was anything but intimate!

[TahitiNut]

20. Wouldn't that be the Allen ROOM, Rose HALL, Time-Warner CENTER?

As I search, that seems to be the taxonomy. :shrug:

[NYC_SKP]

22. Quite Right, TahitiNut!!!

Take the elevator to the fifth floor.

Drinks are on me! :toast:
