Are you free on Saturday, May 31st, 2025? Join Tom and I, along with the Gilded Gentleman,

for a three-hour dinner cruise around Lower Manhattan, through New York Harbor, and up to the

Statue of Liberty. Now, I've always wanted to host one of these. It's a fabulous evening

with breathtaking views of the city and includes dinner,

an open bar, and of course we'll be dancing the night away when we're not looking at the

beautiful city outside. And the highlight of the evening, Tom and I will be hosting a Gilded Age

themed trivia game. Don't miss out on this unique chance to hang out with us on a boat and enjoy the evening

filled with history, fun, and fantastic memories. Get your tickets at like mindstravel.com
