Turn on the television to the ninth season of “The Real Housewives of New York City” and you’ll see Luann de Lesseps dashing through Midtown with her bejeweled frenemies, frantically planning her New Year’s Eve Palm Beach nuptials to businessman Tom D’Agostino.
But in real life — and real time — Luann is living life in a lower key than her reality-television self and is looking forward to spending the summer in her Sag Harbor home.
Here, the newly married Mrs. D’Agostino shares exactly how she’ll be spending her 52nd birthday on Wednesday — with no camera crews or catfights in sight.
Om in the a.m.
I like to start the day at Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor. After starring on a show like “RHONY” for nearly a decade, I need some daily namaste to stay sane!
Graze and gaze
I love sitting on the porch of the American Hotel in Sag Harbor and soaking up the sun. The eggs Benedict are a must — perfect food for people-watching. Afterward, I love strolling the village, looking out for friends while popping into bakeries and cheese shops.
Soak up the sun
I adore Peter’s Pond in Sagaponack. It’s a great place to connect with my family — my kids are 20 and 22. We’ll walk, swim, and I love running on the sand with my Westie, Aston.
Take to the water
My husband and I both have boats docked at Sag Harbor. We’ll take them out to Shelter Island. Watching the StndAIR seaplanes land on the beach always gives me a thrill. Sunset Beach, André Balazs’ bar and restaurant, is also a place we love to stop by — the music is amazing. Navy Beach is also a must. While it’s great being out on the water, what’s so special is stopping at these bars and beaches and connecting to other boaters — you always see the same people over the years.
Match, love
In the afternoon, we’ll either play tennis or hit a few balls at Poxabogue Golf Center. It’s a fun way to connect and stay in shape. And we’re a great team. Tom is helping me with my golf game; I’m working on his backhand.
Wine down
To end the evening, I love sunset cocktails on the porch at home — slightly dirty martinis for me — with some charcuterie and cheese we’ve procured from the village earlier. If we’re heading out, we’ll be raising a glass of rosé at Wölffer Estate Vineyard. Cheers!
