Hint For The Average Socialite:
Mastercard Holders: From July 28, 2016 - August 13, 2016 you can celebrate The New York Botanical Garden’s 125th anniversary in VIP style this summer with exclusive access to the World MasterCard & YGC Lounge on two NYBG/125 Evenings. Located in the beautiful Perennial Garden, this private al fresco lounge is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a night of music under the stars, with seasonal snacks and specialty cocktails created by mixologists from Hangar 1 Vodka.
Cardholders can choose from two world class performances. On Thursday, July 28, Michael Arenella & His Dreamland Orchestra will play Jazz Age classics steeped in the hot-dance band tradition of the 1920s and early 1930s. And on Saturday, August 13, North Carolina four-piece Mipso will wow the crowd with the conventions of old-style Americana, pulling from bluegrass, folk, country, pop, and other influences for a sound that's all their own. Whichever evening you attend, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to the lounge, along with entry to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory—which currently features a gorgeous American Impressionist garden. $85 tickets available now!
