This summer, there could be no chicer way to spend an evening than chartering The Mark Hotel's beautiful 70-foot Herreshoff sailboat. Docked in Tribeca's North Cove Marina, the vessel is available for private hire (accommodating up to 25 guests), or, quite excitingly, you can join in on three ticketed experiences.

Book June 10th or August 19th for a Caviar Kaspia catered affair (if only to be able to tell people "It must be something about the salty air but I swear to you, the Baked Potato with Caviar is just worlds better enjoyed on the water), or July 15th for a bespoke menu of Jean-Georges favorites.
Book your spot before they sell out!
