Friday’s celebration at Amata restaurant on Manhattan’s East Side was far less dramatic than the party held for Rudy on May 17 in Palm Beach, Fla. — when he was served a legal notice of his Arizona indictment for allegedly being involved in a plot to overturn the 2020 election in favor of ex-President Donald Trump.

“I don’t know how he does it — God bless him,” a close pal who attended Friday’s event said of Giuliani, noting the legal and financial woes that have engulfed New York City’s ex-Hizzoner.

“I was happy with what I saw. It wasn’t the Palm Beach crowd. It was strictly family and old friends,” the source said of last week’s gig.

Giuliani’s son, Andrew, was at his dad’s soiree Friday along with Rudy’s granddaughter Grace, daughter Caroline and daughter-in-law Živilė Rezgytė.

The former mayor’s lawyers — Barry Kamins and Arthur Aidala — were also there.

“It was an honor to be with the mayor and celebrate his accomplishments,” said Tom Von Essen, who was the city fire commissioner under Giuliani during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.

Other attendees included former Deputy Mayor Rudy Washington, ex-Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik and City Hall aide Robert Harding.

But other former City Hall aides — turned off by Rudy’s actions and antics in recent years including disputing the results of the 2020 presidential election — did not attend.

WABC radio owner John Catsimatidis recently bounced Giuliani from the air for failing to heed station policies.

“Rudy is going through a rough time,” an attendee said.

Giuliani said it was a fabulous affair, arranged by longtime confidante Anthony Carbonetti.

Rudy’s business partner, Maria Ryan, presented a montage of his early life — with pictures from when he was child through his years as the Manhattan US attorney and as mayor.

“Everyone had a great time. My spirits for what I’m going through is terrific,” Giuliani told The Post on Sunday.

“My granddaughter Grace was the star of the night.”

Andrew Giuliani agreed of his daughter.

“Grace has the Giuliani blood. She gave ‘Pop Pop’ a big kiss. She blew out the candles with Pop Pop,” he said.
