This evening, there is a cocktail boat cruise on the East River Ferry to benefit the Northside Town Hall and a local bar and restaurant owners’ group. Tickets are $125 for three hour cruise (nothing ominous about that!) featuring food and booze from local establishments*, all for a good cause. Details on the event can be found here (and I hear that discount tickets may be available).
