The city was transformed into a de facto Gatsby party this week: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and their celebrity pals partied hard. Ashton Kutcher, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Jerry Seinfeld all ended up at the Beatrice Inn; Katy Perry and Robert Pattinson ventured to Trump Soho’s lounge; and Rihanna gave a “seductive lap dance” to Sean Kingston at Pink Elephant Club. This, and more, in our weekly roundup of celebrity dining.
