Charitable Event Pick: Schneider's Soirée

One of NYC’s hottest new outdoor venues is Water Taxi Beach at the South Street Seaport. On Wednesday September 9th, Schneider Children’s Hospital is taking over the space for its Inaugural Summer Soirée.

Water Taxi Beach: The new downtown location is a popular hotspot

Proceeds from the event will help support the hospital’s $132 million campaign to renovate and expand with the construction of a four-story, 100,000 square foot Inpatient Pavilion. Schneider recently added a new atrium, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Ambulatory Chemotherapy Center.

The soirée will feature three-hour open bar (beer, wine and sangria), appetizers and -- here’s the fun part -- unlimited games including mini golf, skee ball and ping pong.

Tickets are $50 until September 1st, and $60 thereafter. For more information, click here.

Singles Event Pick: South Street Seaport Party

One of the best places to enjoy a night out in NYC is on the water. Tonight, that’s what Gemini & Scorpio is offering with “Hobos & Mermaids on The High Seas” at the South Street Seaport.

The themed sunset dance party will take place aboard New York’s only tall ship, Clipper City. Says the invite on Facebook--

“We'll bring the party on board with DJ Jon Margulies, originator of hobo-tech: depression era techno-contemporary music that nods to a forgotten America, celebrating half-smoked cigars and steaming cauldrons of stew.”

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the dock. The boat leaves from Pier 17. Only 125 tickets will be sold first come, first served. For more information, click here.
