julyfourth.com - Monday Rock 'n' Roll Happy Hour Cruise @New York Skyport Marina

Who says you need to wait until the weekend to have a good time? Sure, most of us have those demanding nine to fives that have us up early and in the office earlier that we'd like, but that doesn't mean that you have to wait until Friday at 6PM to let loose. Monday can be the toughest day of the week - because that's when our week starts. After eight to nine grueling Monday hours, how about enjoying life a little and jumping aboard an entertaining cruise? It doesn't mean that you have to be out all night long, but at least you can enjoy the phenomenal weather that's headed our way. Each and every Monday night, there's an after work cruise that's been the talk of the town - the Rock N Roll Cruise! Featuring the best rock music you can imagine and a cash bar that will keep the party going, this happy hour cruise is like nothing else. You won't be out all night, and you'll be able to take in some of the best views that the city has to offer. Just be sure to get your tickets to these events as soon as you can, because it's a hot item that constantly packs the yacht. Try an alternative that not only brings you great music and cocktails, but an even better atmosphere.
