The world's greatest circus artists swing into action in the spotlight under an intimate Big Top, where no seat is more than 50 feet from the ring. Thrill to mono-cyclists, contortionists, a herd of miniature horses, jugglers and of course leggy, lovable, laugh-riot Grandma and her troupe of clowns. After you are done dancing in your seat, get up close and personal with an exclusive "back lot" tour. Did we mention there are gift certificates for snacks to enjoy during the show and a swag bag of goodies personally selected for you by the Big Apple Circus crew? It's a party you'll never forget!

Join Zandi and Tom Nammack for a memorable evening at our annual Headmaster's Dinner. Our gracious hosts, Angela and Hank Uberoi, invite sixteen friends into their home for an unforgettable wine tasting. It's your night, so what would you choose? A vertical of Lynch Bages or wines of the world from areas like Bordeaux, Chile, Australia or Argentina? A trip to Hank's vast wine cellar that was recently featured on the cover of Wine Spectator completes the spectacular setting. This signature event promises to be an evening of creative cuisine, created by Floyd Cardoz, Executive Chef of North End Grill, the new Battery City restaurant of the Danny Meyer restaurant empire. Beginning his career in Bombay, attending culinary school in Switzerland at Les Roche he then moved to New York City to create dishes using the flavors and spices of his native land. As a cookbook author, a Fresh Direct meal contributor and as television personality on Top Chef Masters (airing April 2011)...he is one busy chef! And who knows he might even surprise us with his presence if we can get him away from the camera? The cuisine, delicious wines, laughter and lasting memories will make this a night to remember! Angela and Hank Uberoi 4. Join The Colbert Nation! Priceless Is political satire your thing? Do you like to laugh out loud? Are you an American? Do you love Stephen like we do?

Three unbelievably talented women, three chances at performances that will blow you away, and six of you for each performance will get to enjoy it! On April 22nd your group will head to the Prudential Center for the Monster Ball Tour with Lady Gaga. The New York Times noted that "her Monster Ball tour always provided something worth a snapshot. The more her image gets around, the better Lady Gaga does" On June 19th the California Dreams Tour will hit the same venue with "Fireworks" "I'm definitely bringing the pizzazz with a lot of bells and whistles. The show has a Broadway feel to it. It's got a storyline that's going to be very interesting, kind of loosely based on my life" ...per Katy Perry herself! Finally, on July 20th the Speak Now World Tour arrives in Newark, NJ. Taylor Swift will descend on the Prudential Center. The (Phoenix) Arizona Republic wrote: ''Swift shoots to superstardom. Her two-hour set at the sold-out arena showed a level of creativity; and more important, sincerity - which many other acts don't reach for decades, if ever. There is a new master of the stage in pop music moving quickly up the ladder.'' What could be better than this...except...dinner before each concert at Raymond's, Leone's and Tosca; gifts of CD's, T-shirts, bracelets and necklaces and most importantly, VIP parking!
