I have read, understand, and agree to the terms and conditions of this experience, including reviewing the dinner menu, as those are the only options available for dinner.

This experience is curated for women who love a moment, and don’t need multiple days to feel refreshed.

Why are we hanging out in Times Square?

The Energy is UNMATCHED 🔥

There is literally nowhere else in the world that feels like Times Square. The lights, the music, the crowds, the movement, it feels like you stepped into a movie.
