Claire Danes and her fiancé Hugh Dancy, along with the Accompanied Literary Society, feted a reading of author Jay McInerney’s new collection of short stories, “How It Ended”, Saturday night at the Montauk Yacht Club in the courtyard of the Ziegfeld Estate, a sources tells HinTH.

Designer Cynthia Rowley, The B-52’s Fred Schneider and “John Adams” director Tom Hopper attended the ’20s-themed event donned in their summer whites while Danes read McInerney’s “It’s Six A.M. Do You Know Where You Are?” followed by Dancy’s take on “The Waiter.”

The couple, who were guests of the hotel all weekend, spent the rest of the evening on the dance floor, enjoying ’20s tunes from Adam Dugas and the Fitzgerald Follies. Danes partied barefoot until the band officially called it a night, the source says, adding that the duo lounged in the courtyard all day Sunday.
