September 13 | 6:30pm | Wavertree | $20
Come aboard the 1885 tall ship Wavertree to enjoy a delightful evening of New York City trivia with the Seaport Museum and the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). Prepare to immerse yourself in an enthralling exploration of the city’s history as you engage in a friendly competition against professional tour guides and devoted trivia aficionados.
Bring your family and friends to form your own team of 4–6 people, or come solo and get paired with a group of fellow trivia buffs. Our host, Mark Levy––better known as The Tourfather––will take the helm, guiding us through a series of questions spanning three captivating categories: bodies and bars, statues and seaport, and squares and pairs.. Beyond the thrill of victory, the triumphant team will be awarded a prize!
Free wine and non-alcoholic beverages will be available throughout the evening. Advanced registration is required.
