How to Make a Subway Map with John Tauranac
Hear from an author and map designer who has been creating maps of the NYC subway, officially and unofficially, for over forty years!
Every year, summer in the city brings with it a wonderful variety of outdoor parties that get you outside to enjoy the warm weather and beauty of New York City’s natural spaces. One of the best ways to celebrate the season is to take part in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Soiree. Hosted by the Prospect Park Alliance in “Brooklyn’s Backyard,” the Prospect Park Soiree is an outdoor dinner party that offers guests an evening of dining and dancing among the bucolic setting of Prospect Park‘s Peninsula. Now in its third year, the one-night-only event will take place on Saturday, June 22nd. If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can enter to win a pair of free tickets!
The soiree is a bring-your-own affair where guests prepare a delicious meal, bring a favorite bottle of wine, and gather with friends old and new to enjoy the evening, while the Alliance provides live entertainment and the stunning park setting. Attendees are encouraged to go all out with their table decor and festive attire. Big, fancy hats and elaborate place settings are staples of the soiree.
Tickets for the Prospect Soiree are on sale now! You can buy an individual ticket for $45 or a Party Pack for 10 people which includes two bottles of wine. Proceeds benefit the non-profit Prospect Park Alliance’s mission to sustain, restore and advance Prospect Park.
If you are an Untapped Cities Insider, you can enter to win a pair of free tickets to the Prospect Park Soiree with VIP entrance here! The contest ends May 16th.
Please note that guests must be 21 and over. This event takes place rain or shine. Tickets are non-refundable, but transferable to another attendee.
