TALE OF TWO CITIES...the new musical
Registration
begins July 7 for Manhasset residents and July 14 for non-residents.
After a sold-out pre-Broadway run, this stunning epic experience is coming
to the Great
White Way. Charles Dickens' sweeping tale comes to breathtaking new life as
you follow
a journey from the prisons of Paris to the pubs of London and experience
the forces
that rage in the heart of every man...passion and corruption, tragedy
and triumph, love and
vengeance. With the emotional power of Les Miserables, the mystique
of The Phantom of
the Opera, and the charisma of Cats, this is a hit you won't want
to miss.
Fee:
$99 per person includes orchestra seat, deluxe motorcoach and gratuity.
Bus
leaves from Christopher Morley Park at 10:30 a.m., leaving ample time
to enjoy lunch on your own before the 2 p.m. curtain. Bus departs immediately

a beautiful day on the North Fork of Long Island. Travel past farms and

waterfront town of Greenport. Browse through the unique boutiques, and enjoy
the
harbor
area and the views of Shelter Island. Feast on a delicious lunch at Claudio's,
an 1870
historic
harborfront restaurant with a magnificent bar and nautical memorabilia.
Following a
lovely
lunch, we will travel to Riverhead and board the Atlantis Explorer for a
2-hour narrated
cruise
on the Peconic River, leading to Flander's Bay. The Peconic River is Long
Island's
largest
river and is also one of its most historic and ecologically diverse. Originating
in swamps,
ponds
and bogs at mid-island, the river flows eastward through forests, past farms
and historic
sites,
over dams and under roadways, fifteen miles from the source, where it empties
into the
bay. Before leaving the charming North Fork, we will enjoy a stop at Briermere
Farms, a local
farmstand
known for their delicious homemade pies as well as fresh produce and flowers.

After a relaxing and
leisurely
meal, we will meet our guide for a bus tour of Manhattan's Holiday Night
Light displays. There
is
simply nothing more beautiful than a December night in New York City. Amid
the hustle and bustle of
this dynamic city are gorgeous light displays that herald the Holiday Season.You
will enjoy these
wonderful
sights from your deluxe motorcoach, from the elegant windows of Saks Fifth
Avenue, to the
windows
of Madison Avenue, glittering like so many jewels, to the amazing pedestrian
crush at Herald
Square,
transfixed by Macy's windows. Nestled in Central Park, nothing is more beckoning
than Tavern
on
the Green, with the trees all aglow. Speaking of trees, we will pass the
stately tree at Lincoln Center,
the
sparkling tree at Bowling Green and Broadway, the traditional tree at the
South Street Seaport...
But
of all the sights to see in the city, nothing can compare to Rockefeller
Center, from the illuminated
St.
Patrick's Cathedral, to Atlas shouldering the world, to the magnificent
centerpiece, the Rockefeller
Center
tree. We hope you'll be ringing in the season with us.
