The sunset over the Hudson River from Riverside Park is stunning.  Join us for an after work picnic where you can sit back, relax and socialize with others in this beautiful setting just 2 blocks from the 79th Street subways. COVID-19 protocols will be in place.

What to expect:

• A few dozen easygoing members and friends gathering in the grassy area next to the old 79th Street Boat Basin Café on the Hudson River.
• Our staff members will be on hand ready to welcome and introduce you to others in the group.
• We will have several ice breaker games with prizes plus a few fun things for you to participate in like Frisbee, bocce ball, cup stacking race, egg toss, card games and more!
• As the sun sets you can sit back and relax, socialize and participate in the games.
• Bring your own food and beverages.  If bringing “adult” beverages, you will need to be very discreet.

How it works:

• Register below and we will send you very specific directions on where to meet us in the park.
• When you arrive we will sign you in and explain the flow of the evening and introduce you to others at the party.
• Bring something to sit on such as a blanket, folding chair, or towel. Bring your own food and drinks if you like.  There are several restaurants, delis, and diners at 79th and Broadway (the subway stop)
• Hang on the blankets, play games, or walk over to the café for an adult beverage.
• After the sun sets, you can head out or join the group at a local bar.
