The Story Welcome to the Annual Halloween Gala at Mount Mystery Manor. Tuck your modern worries away—and hope you live to unpack them. The Setting: Mount Mystery Manor Deep in the isolated woods of upstate New York stands Mount Mystery Manor. Built 200 years ago, this sprawling estate was once a booming vacation destination for the high-society elite. Today, it is a decaying curiosity. It serves as the ultimate escape for city dwellers looking to completely drop off the grid. The cell service is nonexistent. The isolation is total. For decades, rumors of violent history, strange shadows, and unexplained activity have plagued the grounds. It is the perfect place for a haunting. The Night: Halloween Tonight, the wind is howling through the pines, and the owners are throwing their legendary annual Halloween party. The grand ballroom is lit by candlelight. The floorboards creak underfoot. The Guest List: A Dangerous Mix You look around the room and realize you are surrounded by an unpredictable crowd: The Regulars: City folk just looking for a quiet weekend away from the noise. The Halloween Enthusiasts: Costumed partygoers looking for a good drink and a scary theme. The Paranormal Investigators: Thrill-seekers equipped with cameras, hoping to catch a glimpse of a real ghost. The Twist: True Terror Arrives As the clock strikes midnight, the party shifts from festive to frightening. The lights flicker and die. The temperature drops to freezing. The boundary between our world and the supernatural vanishes, and the manor’s long-whispered legends come alive. Then, the screaming starts. A body is found cold, lifeless, and brutally murdered in the heart of the manor. Your Mission: Trust No One The storm outside has washed out the only road back to civilization. Help is not coming. The killer is in the room, and the ghosts of the manor are watching. Was it a vengeful spirit, or is there a flesh-and-blood monster hiding behind a costume? Look closely at your friends. Question every motive. Everyone is a suspect. **Please note:** The murder mystery party in NOT a dinner event. Food is available for you to order.

Tickets: $39.98 (advance registration required) Click the link below to register for this event: [https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/1998422950842](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/1998422950842) From 1867-1955, four different elevated railroads (aka "Els") traversed Manhattan, which provided the first true rapid transit to a city choked by traffic. From Civic Center to Chinatown and Little Italy to the Lower East Side, it's time to hit the streets and uncover the story of the long-departed transit routes that defined 19th-century NYC — and the hidden-in-plain-sight remnants that are still standing over 100 years later. Join [New York Adventure Club](https://www.nyadventureclub.com/) as we explore the downtown Manhattan remnants of the former elevated railroads that ran between Brooklyn and Manhattan — from the downtown portions of the 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue Elevated Railroads to the trains that ran across the Brooklyn Bridge. Led by NYC Tour Guide Michael Morgenthal, our experience surrounding the Els of the past will include: * **How the Els came to be**, and how they radically transformed neighborhoods such as the Civic Center, Chinatown, Little Italy, and the Lower East Side * **The story of Allen Street**, which was widened in the 1930s in part to alleviate the dirt, noise, and shadows caused by the elevated trains * **A discussion around the trains that ran across the Brooklyn Bridge**, and how they influenced the design of the Municipal Building near City Hall * A brief **trip inside the NYC subway system to uncover secrets** of its transit history (MetroCard swipe or OMNY card tap needed) * **The great transfer points that once existed** including the City Hall Elevated spur and Chatham Square, the latter of which caused chaos and confusion for those looking to transfer between these two lines — for a fee! * **A walk past the ghosts of the Elevated**, including a Manhattan power station hiding in plain sight See you there! \*Since this tour access the subway system, a MetroCard swipe or credit card / OMNY card tap will be needed to enter the subway system \*\*Please bring a water bottle and comfortable pair of shoes as we’ll be doing a lot of walking! \*\*\*The tour ends at the corner of Grand and Allen Streets Disclaimer Event takes place rain or shine.
