And some people may want to make a beeline for Trailside Museum & Zoo by 10:30am to get free donuts and hot cocoa by 10:30am \(not sure how hard the time cut\-off is lol\)\. Trailside Museum & Zoo is a 20 minute walk from Bear Mountain Inn\. 2\. Our way to Trailside Museum & Zoo will be the first quarter of the Hessian Loop Trail \(linked below\)\. It’s 1\.5 mile and is relatively flat \(so it’s considered easy\)\. We’ll continue that trail after getting free donuts and hot cocoa\. 3\. After 30 minutes to an hour\, we’ll complete the Hessian Loop Trail\. 4\. Then we’ll head to do the Bear Mountain Loop Trail \(also linked below\)\. It’ll take 3\.5 to 4 hours\. We’ll be going up 1\,000 feet in about 2 miles so it’ll be moderate / hard difficulty but if you’re relatively fit it should be no problem\. If folks prefer\, they are more than welcome to hang out at Trailside Museum & Zoo \($1 suggested donation and is open from 10am to 4:30pm\) or the 1915 Restaurant in the meantime\. 5\. From 3 to 4:45pm\, a group of us will eat at 1915 Restaurant which is located at Bear Mountain Inn \(where the bus dropped us off\)\. It’ll be a separate Meetup event\.

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. This event is for socializing and fun only. **Can I come alone?** Yes, most guests do! It’s a great way to meet new people. **Dress Code:** Come as you are or in costume! **Ages:** 21+ **Questions?** Email Dave Cervini at dave@newyorksocialnetwork.com or call 212.873.2256, M-F 10am to 4pm. Nonrefundable unless canceled. This event is nonrefundable. If you have tested positive for Covid and cannot attend, we will do our best to provide you with credits to select future events with a copy of your positive test results. Please note that due to the cost involved in some activities credits may not be used for the event you missed. **Venue:** Playwright Celtic Pub 8th Avenue **Address:** 732 8th Avenue, Between 45th and 46th, New York, New York, 10036 \*\***Get tickets here:** https://newyorksocialnetwork.com/events/interactive-murder-mystery-party-murder-at-the-haunted-hotel-on-halloween-night/
