Honorable William Wall
The Honorable William Wall, which is moored at Ellis Island, serves as the Manhattan Yacht Club's temporary floating clubhouse from May through October. Members can only access the downstairs champagne bar, but anyone can access the upper deck, which has a full cash bar, snacks, and unrestricted views of the city skyline. What makes it so special? It's undoubtedly a secret location that offers not only a stunning view of Ellis Island and, of course, the Statue of Liberty, but also the opportunity to take in the sunset.
As there are no food vendors on the barge, bringing your own food is advised. On the lower level, there is a champagne bar, but it is a members-only area. Each person must pay $20 to launch out to the Honorable William Wall. Members of the Manhattan Yacht Club get a 50% discount on drinks while sailing. This is definitely one of the best Memorial Day weekend events in NYC.
