The Hamptons were unsurprisingly busy this week, with the likes of Paul McCartney, Jennifer Hudson, and Snooki running around and eating. But if you thought the annual August exodus would make snagging a table at your favorite Manhattan restaurant any easier, you were wrong. Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio luxuriated over their breakfast in Chelsea for upwards of 60 minutes; U2 took over a certain popular West Village joint from night until morning; and Alexander Skarsgard claimed one East Village spot as his own, showing up two times in as many days. Lots more sightings straight ahead.
