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.

It was exhilarating. I was feeling a little bit down and depressed but the breathwork pulled me right out of the funk I was in. Absolutely amazing!" - Michael F., NYC "It helped me feel much more clear headed. Like a fog was lifted from my brain. I have been stressed out about so much of what's going on in the world. This was much needed and came at exactly the right time." - Christina S. The Breath is a tool that many people don’t use, even worse many don’t even realize this is a tool that can revolutionize our health and well being. This class will guide you in optimizing your breathing. The session is accompanied by lightly guided meditation to gain clarity and further de-stress.
