Tuesday night: Julian Niccolini shimmied with Vermont songstress Grace Potter, then hopped on the bar of The Four Seasons restaurant, which he co-owns with Alex von Bidder. It was almost midnight at the American Hospital of Paris Foundation gala. Blackstone’s Steve Schwarzman had left. Among the lingerers were Stuyvie and Helene Comfort, who met in St. Tropez, and Katie Boudria and Julien Zuccolin, who met in Monaco.

Perched on a balcony overlooking the Grill Room, DJ Alexandra Richards spun “Come on Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners. Before dinner, Potter sat at a grand piano in the Pool room to perform her “Colors,” “Goodbye Kiss” and “Apologies.”
