Game On!
Chelsea Piers Sports & Entertainment Complex, the 28-acre waterfront sports village located between 17th and 23rd streets along Manhattan’s Hudson River, is home to a wide variety of athletic activities. They have everything. Gym? Check. Pool? Check. Spa? Check.

With a full bowling alley, indoor running track, batting cages, boxing ring, and even an indoor sand volleyball court, there is something for everyone!
And the Award Goes To…
Are you a Movie Maven? A Film Fan? With the Academy Awards just a few weeks away, it will be hard to find the time to watch all 9 Best Picture nominees before the big night arrives.

With 9 nominees, the event has been split up into 2 special days, Saturday, February 18th & Saturday, February 25th, but if you’re brave, you can watch all 9 nominees back-to-back at the Best Picture Showcase Marathon on Saturday, February 25th. Lights, Camera, Action!
