Presidents’ Day weekend at The Betsy Hotel was a pretty stellar scene, with Shania Twain staying there and dining at BLT Steak with her husband, Frederic Thiebaud,and son Eja, and, separately, Jerry Seinfeld, lunching there (on Asian chicken salad and lemon rosemary chicken with spinach) with two male friends, in town, we’re told, for the boat show.

Meanwhile, Seinfeld’s former costar Jason Alexander threw a 93rd birthday bash for his mother, Ruth Greenspan, Tuesday night at Runyons in Coral Springs. Alexander had filet mignon and Alaskan king crab legs and entertained a party of 14.

Billy Joel had lunch Tuesday at The Standard with, says our spy, “two middle-30s blondes — not Uptown Girls — and a tall, fat guy. They had to leave because of the rain and probably because the women’s hair extensions would be ruined.” Joel did manage to eat, though, ordering a cabernet sauvignon and a mahi sandwich minus the bread.
