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. Current COVID-19 protocols will be observed.

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.
