The countdown to June is on!

From June 5th through June 7th, we’re bringing the best of Yale to the heart of NYC for an experience that’s equal parts nostalgic and new. The Class of 2008 is teaming up with our fellow Yalies from the 2000s for a weekend of sun, skyline views, and long overdue catching up.  Join us for the Summer in the City Mini-Reunion!

The Weekend Lineup:

  • The Friday Kickoff: We’re launching the weekend with a private dinner at Papillon Bistro & Bar followed by a late-night social at the Yale Club.
  • Saturday in the Park: Start your morning with a group jog or walk on the High Line before we convene for a massive al fresco picnic at Central Park’s East Pinetum.
  • Sunset on the Harbor: Saturday night, we’re hitting the water for a chartered harbor cruise featuring a full dinner and a DJ-led dance party.
  • The Sunday Send-off: We’ll wrap up the festivities with a fun farewell brunch at the Yale Club.

Official Registration is Live!

We’ve designed this weekend to be flexible for every schedule and budget:

  • Full Weekend Experience ($299)
  • Saturday Pass ($159)
  • Cruise Only ($99)


We can’t wait to reconnect under the city lights.

Boola Boola!
