Vulture Festival happens one weekend a year in New York City, and it just so happens to be taking place on the 19th and 20th of May. The “pop culture extravaganza” hosted by the entertainment site, Vulture, features a lineup of celebrity panels, DJs throughout the weekend, as well as sponsor activities, a bar, games, a photo booth, and access to the Vulture Lounge.

One of the experiences taking place at the festival is a live-watch of the Royal Wedding hosted by the hosts of the popular podcast Who? Weekly, Lindsey Weber and Bobby Finger. The live-watch will also feature special guests, a discussion on the English elite and their fancy hats, and English treats. For more, check out the event page.

5. Breakfast Gala and Live Viewing

Two of New York City’s best British restaurants, Jones Wood Foundry on the Upper East Side and Midtown Manhattan’s The Shakespeare, will be hosting special breakfast galas on the day of the wedding. Doors open at 6am for a live viewing of the wedding, and the breakfast gala concludes at the end of the live broadcast.

Upon arrival, attendees will be treated to a mimosa and a house-made sausage roll —  a meal inspired by the British savory staple that will be given to those who are invited onto the grounds of Windsor Castle for the wedding. Tickets are priced at $70 and include the welcome mimosa and sausage roll, a regal breakfast from the select menu, and a “British Fizz” (the term for English sparkling wines) toast with Chapel Down Reserve Brut 2010.

If you were more invested in the Royal Wedding of 2011 between Prince William and Catherine Middleton, you can attend the Kate and Will Look-A-Like Contest at the Eventi Hotel. After a Royal Wedding breakfast — which will include scones, English muffins and a complimentary Bloody Mary or Mimosa — at which the wedding will be screened, the winners of a special lookalike competition will be announced.

The contest will take place at the hotel’s Bar Basque restaurant, located in Chelsea. The couple that looks the most like Prince William or Kate Middleton will receive a complimentary weekend stay at Eventi and a romantic dinner for two.

8. Long to Reign Over Us: Reflections on An Extraordinary Reign

On May 16th, Saint George’s Society will be hosting a conversation inspired by the Royal Wedding at the Colony Club, located on 564 Park Avenue. The event will feature a scholarly reflection on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II and reflect on the upcoming Royal Wedding.

The conversation will be moderated by Barbara Taylor Bradford OBE, best selling novelist and Dr. Amanda Foreman, renowned biographer and historian. Attendees of the conversation will be treated to cocktails and a toast to the royal couple. For more information, visit the Saint George Society’s page.

9. Tour Inside Federal Hall National Memorial

If you’d rather celebrate the weekend in a way that honors American culture instead of English culture, check out our members-only tour of the Federal Hall National Memorial. On this tour, you can go inside New York’s Federal Hall, located on the site where George Washington took his oath of office as America’s first President on Wall Street.

The site was also home to the country’s first Congress, Supreme Court, and Executive Branch offices, where major moments in the foundation of the country took place, including the Stamp Act Congress and where the Bill of Rights was written. The Federal Hall National Memorial now serves as a museum and memorial to George Washington and the beginnings of the United States of America. The tour takes place on Friday, May 18th, and is available exclusively to our insiders.

10. Join an Urbex Tour With Untapped Cities

In search of a really offbeat celebration? Join us for an urban exploration tour! The abandoned Ellis Island Hospital complex—once the standard for United States medical care (and later transformed to the FBI headquarters when the island served as a detention center)—has been left to decay for nearly 60 years. Now, Untapped Cities is bringing you behind-the-scenes for a unique exploration of the abandoned facility; on this experience, you’ll visit the contagious disease wards, the autopsy rooms and have exclusive access to places usually closed to the public.

While Ellis Island has become one of New York City’s top tourist attractions, drawing over two million visitors per year, the 22-building South Side hospital complex is hidden in plain sight, just to the left of disembarking passengers headed towards the Great Hall. Looking at its desolate, skeletal frame now, it’s difficult to imagine its backstory as one of the largest public health undertakings in American history. Join us for our upcoming hard hat tour, guided by a Save Ellis Island docent, where we’ll uncover its many, buried secrets.
