Alec Baldwin celebrated his honeymoon on the cheap yesterday — taking his bride home in a yellow cab, then to a bar to watch soccer.
Hours after their late-night, celebrity-filled Manhattan wedding bash, Baldwin and bride Hilaria Thomas arrived home to their Greenwich Village pad in a street taxi just before noon, ducking inside without talking to the media.
He clutched a shopping bag from the Lowell Hotel on the Upper East Side, where he and Thomas had spent the wedding night in a $2,000 suite.
The couple emerged from the home a short while later with Baldwin’s 16-year-old daughter, Ireland, and two other teens for a walk to Washington Square Park.
At one point, Baldwin snarled at a reporter: “You’re gonna walk away now. You’re not going to follow us.”
His entourage drew occasional stares from passers-by as yoga-teacher Thomas, 28, folded herself into his lap, listening to a jazz band. She spent much of the time on her cellphone. At one point, she pulled a red folding fan out of her bag to help beat the heat.
The newlyweds and Ireland eventually moved on to Thompson Street, where Baldwin, 54, gave cash and what appeared to be a stern lecture to his daughter. The three of them sped away in a taxi.
The couple and Ireland resurfaced at the Austrian restaurant Edi and the Wolf on Avenue C, where they and nearly two dozen relatives cheered Spain in its Euro 2012 soccer final against Italy.
Baldwin, wearing a Spain cap and scarf, hooted as his Mallorca-bred wife’s home country defeated Italy, 4-0. The couple returned home, separately, in the afternoon.
The couple wed Saturday at St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral downtown and threw a wild wedding reception for more than 200 guests at NYU’s Kimmel Center.
The room was adorned in NYU’s purple and white with white roses, calla lilies and orchids.
Guests dined on local strawberries with arugula and a fig balsamic dressing and had a choice of grilled organic chicken breast, pan-seared halibut, or vegetable Napoleon. There were also lobster tails and oysters.
For dessert, there was regular and vegan wedding cake, as well as sorbet.
In a nod to Thomas’ heritage, the couple served Martin Codax Albarina, a $10-a-bottle Spanish white, and Segura Viudas Brut Reserve, a sparkling white wine that sells for $22 to $27 per hand-blown bottle.
A DJ and band entertained a guests including Tina Fey, Lorne Michaels, Woody Allen, Mariska Hargitay, Robert Kennedy Jr. , and several well-heeled Hamptonites,
Kennedy gave a toast, and the cake wasn’t cut until after 1 a.m.
Baldwin’s sisters and brothers Billy and Stephen showed, but brother Daniel was in England.
“WHAT A NIGHT,” Ireland tweeted after the fest, which went on past 3 a.m.
Alec and Hilaria, who changed her Twitter handle to @hilariabaldwin, yesterday tweeted photos of their wedding rings.
