Hurricane Isabel blew Barbara de Portago’s annual autumn Roof Party to Le Cirque — a first for the famous eatery — so the wind wouldn’t mess with the colorful tablecloths and tableware, nor disrupt her guests’ enjoyment of a delightful lasagna déjeuner.
Barbara, who has served this menu alfresco to her friends, once a year, for the past 12 Septembers, greeted guests in the day’s uniform, a red-and-white picnic-plaid apron, then turned them over to the Le Cirque staff—also clad in picnic plaid.
Lasagna-loving guests included Audrey and Martin Gruss, Kassidy and Roger Schagrin, Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, Chappy Morris, Jill and Andrew Roosevelt, Laura and William Zeckendorf, Melva Bucks-baum and Raymond Learsy, Cece Black, Meera Gandhi, Alexander Hitz, and Patricia Duff.
