The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic was the weekend before last and oh my gosh, it was such a fun day! It was the first hot weekend we’ve had (I actually got a sunburn on my shoulder even though I was slathering on sunscreen repeatedly, not cool.) and it felt like it truly kicked off the summer season. A group of my blogger pals and I boarded a ferry at Battery Park in Manhattan and made our way across the Hudson River to Liberty State Park in New Jersey.
At the event, it’s a sea of Clicquot-orange and preppy New Yorkers dressed in their polo finest. I’ll take any excuse to wear a fun dress and a sun hat!
My friends and I had tickets in the Rosé Garden, which was quite fitting! The Rosé Garden only served Verve Clicquot Rosé, but you could venture out to a different section to buy the traditional orange-label. You know me, I was perfectly content with my pink drink. 😉
The Rosé Garden was complete with a domed canopy bar with falling roses, a flower cart, Luke’s Lobster rolls, and Melt ice cream sandwiches. I took a number of pictures on my iPhone, but I was bummed out the next day when I realized that I didn’t take any scenic photos on my actual camera to capture the day. Guess I’ll just have to make sure I’m in town next year for polo weekend! Is it weird that I’m already planning trips back to visit New York? I plan to get back to NYC pretty often and luckily I have a few work project that will bring me back every few months!
