A "Back to the 30's" Cocktail Party featuring Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks. Grammy award-winning, Smithtown native, Vince Giordano won his award for HBO's "Boardwalk Empire."

The evening will feature dancing, sumptuous food, signature cocktails, costumed characters, video entertainment and many more surprises.
Everyone receives two complimentary cocktails.
