Spot the Fake at NYC’s Secrets and Lies Storytelling Show

Can you tell the difference between a secret and a lie when it involves New York City history? New York City’s Secrets and Lies returns to Caveat this month with five talented storytellers spinning tales about money. Corruption! Extortion! Bribery! Organized crime! Greed! As you are dazzled with secrets of our shining city’s past, there’s a catch: one of the storytellers has completely fabricated their story. If you can you spot the lie that’s just too scandalous to be true you can win a prize from Untapped Cities.
