Two cocktail
parties in New York last night. San Francisco convert Jeanne
Lawrence hosted a cocktail party at her Park Avenue duplex for the First Lady
of San Francisco Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom. Mrs. Newsom lives in
New York four days a week where she is a noted legal analyst and
commentator on CNN, MSNBC, Court-TV and ABC News. Her handsome husband Gavin
Newsom is the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco.

Mrs. Newsom, daughter of a Puerto Rican mother and an Irish father,
is a San Francisco native. She served as Assistant DA and completed
a lengthy trial in the case People V. Noel and Knoller, the couple
that was tried in the famous dog-mauling case that was covered in
the international press. Before that she was Deputy DA in Los Angeles
where she amassed an impressive record in adult and juvenile cases
including narcotics, domestic violence, kidnapping, robbery, arson,
sexual assault and homicide cases.
If that isn’t enough she’s very active in community programs
from fund-raising for the local zoo, the Humane Society, the Northern
California Cancer Center, pediatrics programs and schools. Busy busy.
Her husband was sworn into office of mayor last January. They see
each other on long weekends; thank-god-it’s-Friday, no? |

Penthouse
Serenade. We went from the Lawrence-Newsom
party a few blocks down to Terry Allen Kramer and Nick Simunek’s
post-birthday party for Palm Beach’s hottest landscape
designer Mario Nievera who turned forty
last Sunday. The Kramer-Simunek duplex penthouse is one of
the more fabulous abodes on the Upper East Side with sweeping
terraces on both the north and south ends of the apartment.

Scheduled from
6:30 to 8, by 8:30 it was a mob scene on both terraces, with a
small army of waitstaff serving a vast menu of sushi, hors d’oeuvres,
pastas and desserts. Kramer and Simunek who spend their time between
here, Southampton, Palm Beach and St. Tropez are famously hospitable.
There was a major contingent of the New York-Palm Beach people
including Liza Pulitzer, Mark Gilbertson, Frannie Scaife
and Tom McCarter, Ann Downey, Mona Sayve, Robert Janjigian, Steven
Stolman, Jean Tailer, John Loring, Beth DeWoody, Chris and Grace
Meigher, Mick Jones, Joyce and Bob Sterling, Cynthia Boardman,
Sharyn and Steve Mann (who’ve developed property
in Vero), Jim Brodsky, Ellen and Ian Graham; Terry’s
son and daughter-in-law, Nathaniel and Alex Kramer, Joanne
Creveling, Dennis Basso, Regine Traulsen, to name only
a few luxuriating out under the New York night skies.
Another beautiful night in New York. Thank our lucky stars. |
