Chelsea Clinton wowed the power-lunch crowd at Michael’s yesterday by stopping in for tea with director Ron Howard. A casually dressed Clinton slipped in at 2 p.m. and spent more than an hour chatting with the “Frost/Nixon” and “A Beautiful Mind” Oscar winner, who last year directed a “Funny or Die” skit featuring Will Ferrell as George Bush and Darrell Hammond as Bill Clinton.
Also at the Midtown favorite were power agent Andrea Eastman with Gabriel Byrne, YSL’s Brant Cryder, Quest magazine’s Chris Meigher and daughter Elizabeth with p.r. maven Alison Brod.
