Dartmouth Night Out in NYC

WHEN: Tuesday, August 31, 2010, 7:00 p.m.

WHERE:  Highbar, 49th St and 8th Ave. in NYC

COST: No cover. Cash bar.

Summer is slipping by and it has been a while since we’ve all gotten together! Now that everyone is back from their summer vacations (or staycations!), we’d like to get everyone together for drinks at a (hopefully) very convenient spot. It isn’t necessarily gay or lesbian, but New York is- and we can make this place gayer by showing up.

You can get there by CE, 1, or any other train really…because it’s practically next to Times Square. And even though Times Square isn’t that awesome sometimes, it is always fun to look out on lost tourists from a rooftop while enjoying a cold drink.  Bring your friends/significant others/parents/siblings.

Presented by Knights Out (West Point’s LGBT alumni & allies) and Yale GALA with co-hosts FFR/Princeton BTGALA, Penn GALA, CUGALA (Cornell GALA), HGLC (Harvard Gay & Lesbian Caucus) & DGALA  (Dartmouth).
