Palm Beach social scene hits Upper East Side

With the Palm Beach season over, the social scene’s hopping on the Upper East Side. Kathleen DuRoss Ford — widow of the late Henry Ford II — was thrown a dinner at Primola Monday night “marking one of her rare visits to New York,” a spy said. Also at the meal hosted by financier Lawrence Graev and his wife Lorna were noted Palm Beach attorney L. Frank Chopin and Robert Nederlander and Pat Cook. We hear Ford’s on her way to England and her home outside of London that was formerly owned by Lee Radziwill and her late husband Prince Stanislaw, a k a “Stash” Radziwill. Also dining nearby at Primola were Dominic Chianese plus scads of further Florida fixtures, including Countess Antoinette Sickles Guerrini-Maraldi, Hans Kertess, Ada Zambetti (whose late husband owned the Stella D’Oro Biscuit Company, yum!), Gloria Sidnam, Ronald and Joan Reynolds
Linclau and Steve and Annabelle Shulman.
