Kamala Harris, accompanied by over 20 bodyguards, including a Secret Service agent paid for by taxpayers, was spotted enjoying a date night with her husband Doug Emhoff at one of New York City’s most exclusive bars.
The former Democratic presidential candidate was seen leaving a polo bar on East 55th Street, a well-known celebrity hotspot, on Sunday evening, just before speculation about her appearance at the Met Gala the following day.
Inside the bar, the couple mingled with high-profile guests, many of whom had reserved tables weeks in advance. They posed for photos and engaged in conversations with other patrons.
Photos revealed at least 25 bodyguards surrounding them, along with four bulletproof vehicles and three SUVs, including Secret Service agents and NYPD officers positioned nearby or waiting outside.
As a former vice president, Harris is entitled to federally funded security for about six months following her departure from office.
The polo bar is notorious for being one of the hardest places to get into in New York.
Dining at this establishment isn’t for the faint of heart; some wines on the menu exceed $10,000.
Ralph Lauren’s bar recently released its seating availability, with a strict dress code in place, prohibiting items like T-shirts, athletic wear, beachwear, hoodies, hats, and distressed jeans.
A corned beef sandwich there will set you back $36, while the priciest wine, the Biondi-Santi Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva, costs a staggering $14,500.
