Announcing a charity party cruise! The Queen of Hearts has two full-enclosed, air-conditioned floors and a covered top deck. As we cruise along the Hudson River and around lower Manhattan, our international crowd will enjoy great music from the DJ and see two special Brazilian dance performances. Rain or shine, you'll have a great time Wednesday :)

General boarding is 6:30 - 7:30 PM; the ship returns at 10 PM. 21 and over only - proper ID required.

    the boarding process was brutal - we had 300 free tickets (we do a lot of events at Cafe Notte, the same owner), but apparently, ticket means ticket only if there is room. the cruise people were not prepared for our huge turnout and had oversold the event. Lisa and I will be having a sit-down with the cruise people. Final numbers were 20 of our members were turned away, along with 50 ticket-holders from the general public. We are going to work to make amends to those who could not get on.
