This company is New York to the core. If you have traveled with us, this is the reunion you have been waiting for: see friends from past trips, meet the ones from the side trips, and talk to people who have been on the trips you want to be on.
Never been on a trip? Do not even know who we are yet? Show up and see what the magic is all about.
From the first pour to the last song, the bar never closes and never costs you a dime.
This is the one night a year we trade salty hair and sandy feet for tuxedos and gowns. Wear your absolute best and dress to impress.
The SYB leaders and photographers you know from every trip are in the room, cameras out. Expect a lot of photos, a lot of reunions, and a lot of brand-new friends.
Velvet, candlelight, a disco ball, and a Flatiron address. 23 Lexington Avenue, second floor, in the middle of Manhattan.
First Call sold out in a few days. General Admission is open now, and prices climb again on September 24. Same night, same open bar, same $100 credit.
The morning after the gala, every ticket holder gets a code worth $100 off a new SYB booking. It is live until Monday night, then it is gone. This is how half the room ends up on a boat in Croatia together.
The night-before icebreaker. Out-of-towners land, trip crews collide, new friends get made before anyone ties a bow tie.
A group workout to earn the open bar, then doors at 8 PM for the fifth annual Black Tie Gala.
Park hangs, pickleball, and retellings of last night. Weather permitting, sunglasses required.
Five hours, one room, no tab. Here is exactly how the night moves.
The first hour is champagne. Only champagne. Walk in, take a glass, find the people you have not seen since Croatia. Start the night classy. It does not stay that way.
Specialty cocktails, top shelf pours, wine, beer, and every classic you can name. From here it does not close again.
Last year the floor went off right around twelve and nobody looked at their phone again. Plan your night around being in the room for it.
The final pour goes out at 1 AM and that is the night. What happens after that is between you and New York.
We did not book a DJ for this one. We found one.
Ajay Singh came to Croatia this summer as a guest. On pirate ship day he asked if he could take the booth for a few songs, then turned a boat full of people who had met three days earlier into the kind of dance floor you tell your friends about for a year. He never gave the booth back. We offered him the gala before we docked.
The Georgia Room sits on the second floor of the Freehand New York. Book a room downstairs and your commute home is an elevator ride.
The Georgia Room, second floor. Flatiron, New York City.
Doors at 8 sharp. Last drink at 1. We are out the door by then.
Check the coat on the way in. Nobody dances holding a puffer.
This night runs on champagne and dancing, not dinner. Eat before you arrive.
Your tip is covered for the whole night. Be lovely to the bar staff anyway.
Guest list at the door. Bring ID, wear black tie, gold accents encouraged.
Professional photography is included, and everyone will get a link to the photos. Trust us, you will look real good.
