New York native Gwyneth Paltrow left her glam duds at home when she joined friends for drinks at Smith & Mills in Tribeca. The casually dressed GOOP guru was able to enjoy some down time in peace, despite clearly being recognized by fellow diners. But Chris Noth was anything but incognito when he stopped by Elaine’s. Mr. Big wowed a crowd containing familiar faces like Gay Talese, actor Jason Patric, Martha Plimpton, and former CIA Director Robert James Woolsey. The Good Wife star apparently rattled off several songs, accompanied by Elaine’s pianist Michael Garin. Read our complete roundup of celebrity dining below.
