Prince Harry may want to take a page from Pippa Middleton's handbook on having a good time while in the States.

With the prince's naked scandal still looming over Buckingham Palace, Kate's sister was spotted getting her fun on this weekend in New York City and the Hamptons.

On Saturday night, Pippa and a couple of girlfriends enjoyed dinner—and a bottle of white wine—at Catch restaurant in the trendy Meatpacking District, according to a source.

The 28-year-old beauty was spotted the following day with Chelsea Handler's ex, hotelier Andre Balazs, at his Hamptons property, Sunset Beach. Fellow guest Toronto news anchor Melissa Grelo tweeted a pic of barefooted Pippa walking with her shoes in her hand.

She also mentioned how Pippa stood in line for the ladies' bathroom. Another photo shows Pippa and Balazs playing ping-pong.

Balazs, 55, seemed to have taken Pippa and a few others on a sightseeing trip in the Hamptons, because they were spotted riding around the area and taking photos from his cream and red VW van, according to the New York Daily News.

Pippa was out last night at the Electric Room at Dream Downtown, where she was spotted chatting with former New York Rangers player Sean Avery, another source confirms.

In keeping with the sports theme, Pippa was at the U.S. Open today with a pass that read she was a guest of Roger Federer.

She was in the stands to watch a women's single match between Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Samantha Stosur of Australia with Spencer Vegosen, a tennis player and Harvard grad.

But it's not all work and no play. Various reports also say that Pippa is NYC for meetings about Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Family and Friends, her new book about entertaining to be released Oct. 30.
