A prince, a president, Jesus and Madonna – all in one day. Yes, it’s possible – but only in New York.
The polo match on Governors Island this Saturday was filled with hats, champagne and people showing off. Everyone was there to see HRH Prince Henry of Wales play for the Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic. For the rich the tickets were 500 dollars – but for the public it was free. We got the best of both worlds:
But the prince was not only playing polo in New York…
By the way – this year, more of Governors Island will be open to the public than ever before. For the first time ever, visitors can walk and bike around the entire 2.2 mile promenade, experiencing never before seen views of New York Harbor. Additionally, a new eight acre picnic area, called Picnic Point, is open to the public for the first time. Picnic Point is located on the Island’s southwestern corner, and features the stunning backdrop of the Statue of Liberty.
