What: Veuve Clicquot Polo Match (my very first one!)
Where: Governors Island (a tiny island half a mile from the tip of Manhattan)
Who: Me, Brian, and Prince Harry (although after seeing that red hair in person I am seriously questioning his royal paternity)
Why: I'm not sure because it was painfully hot outside
We took a ferry to Governors Island to discover grassy lawns and beautiful old military barracks from nearly 200 years as an army outpost.
There are no cars so it's the perfect place for bicycles.
Why do all horse sports require ladies to wear hats?
We sat in the free section with the rest of the peasantry. Across the field general admission was $250 and tables were as much as $50,000.
I swear that is my face lurking in the shadows. And I apologize if you are experiencing fashion deja vu. This is my only "uppity sporting event" outfit.
When you're on Governors Island with lots of green grass and wide open space it's hard to believe you're still in NYC. Until you see the view.
