On Friday, June 21st, from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm EDT, they’re hosting “Murder at the Copacabana Nightclub 1948 to 1978,” a disco murder mystery dinner party that promises an evening of interactive entertainment, delicious food, and groovy fun.
Get ready to step back in time and immerse yourself in the glitz and glamor of the late 1970s. The once notorious Copacabana nightclub has transformed into a top disco club in New York City, pulsating with infectious music and attracting a trendy clientele. But beneath the dazzling lights and thumping bass line lurks a dark secret – the unsolved murder of Tony, Lola, and Rico.
Here’s your chance to become part of the investigation and put your sleuthing skills to the test. As you arrive at 6:30 pm, don your most groovy 70s attire (think platform shoes, bell bottoms, and afros – authenticity is key!). There’s even a costume contest with prizes, so unleash your inner fashion icon and prepare to impress!
Following the red carpet welcome, you’ll be treated to a delectable family-style Italian dinner at 7:00 pm. Imagine indulging in classic Maggiano’s favorites like Mozzarella Marinara, Stuffed Mushrooms, and Maggiano’s Salad for the first course. The second course offers a tantalizing selection of Baked Ziti with Chicken, Fettucine Alfredo with Broccoli, Grilled Honey BBQ Chicken, or Breaded Cod with Honey Chipotle drizzle. And to end the evening on a sweet note, a Fresh Fruit Plate and Gigi’s famous Butter Cake await. All this is included in your ticket price, along with a drink ticket for beer, wine, or a standard spirit cocktail (must be 21+).
With your appetite satiated and your dancing shoes on, the real fun begins at 7:15 pm as the murder mystery show unfolds. Mingle with fellow guests, gather clues, and use your detective skills to identify the culprit. Remember, everyone is a suspect! Work together with your tablemates, share your observations, and put your deduction skills to the test. There will be prizes awarded to the winning teams who crack the case, so put on your thinking caps and get ready to solve the mystery!
This immersive dinner party is more than just solving a crime; it’s an evening of laughter, good company, and delicious food.
