Scene: Susan Winberg at her birthday party, hosted by her husband Ken Shewer and their children Max and Zoe. The buzzy dinner party took place at their new penthouse. Susan, an interior designer, recently transformed a gut renovation in a prewar building into a contemporary sleek space overlooking the Hudson River. The wrap around terrace is still a work in progress, but the south, west, and north views go on for miles and miles. Their extensive art collection, which includes several Andy Warhols, Larry Rivers, Red Grooms, and others helped create a subliminal background of a Happening which complemented the evening.
