ain’t no party like a 1920s lawn party

Half a mile from Manhattan, jazz music trumpeted  through the air Sunday afternoon at a Fitzgerald-inspired lawn party. I have no idea how so many people came up with such stylish 1920s outfits, or why people don’t do this more often.

But even without the pie competitions and tug o’ wars of Sunday, Governors Island – where the event took place – is a fabulous spot to visit.
