friendly reminder: Victorian Picnic is this Saturday, June 8

[Rachel Klingberg]

Friendly reminder: our Third Annual Victorian Picnic is this Saturday, June 8. The weather forecast looks good and it should be a perfect day for picnicking. On the off chance there is unexpected rain, we will post a reschedule notice to this mailing list, our Web site www.nyncs.org, and our Facebook page www.facebook.com/pg/nineteenthcenturysociety Assume that the picnic will take place as scheduled unless you see a notice posted on Saturday morning. 

Victorian attire is optional but why not dress up before the summer gets too hot for fancy clothing? Please bring a blanket to sit on and optional food to share. See you on Saturday! 

Victorian Picnic with the New York 19th Century Society

Saturday, June 8, 2019

2:00 p.m.

Great Hill, Central Park (106th Street and Central Park West)

Rain Date: Saturday, June 15

As the sunny days grow longer, one often desires a happy excursion to whittle away the hours with friends. What better way to do so than with a Victorian picnic in Central Park? Join the New York 19th Century Society for an afternoon of dining al fresco, good conversation, reading aloud, lawn games of the gentler sort, and photography.

Bring food or drink to share. Suggested attire (not required): summer whites, garden party frocks, tea dress, steampunk, Goth, or Lolita.

We will gather at the Great Hill to spread our blankets and enjoy food and drink. Closest subways are the C and B trains to 103rd Street and Central Park West. The park entrance is across the street from the subway station. When you enter the park, walk north (uphill) until you arrive at a large circular meadow ringed with stately trees.
