GALA ND/SMC is happy to sponsor our Fifth Annual New York City Alumni Fall Weekend from November 15 to 17, 2019. As always, there are a number of events planned for GALA members and friends to enjoy over the weekend.

Welcome Dinner – Friday November 15, 2019 8:00PM – Crispo (240 West 14th Street Between 7th & 8th) Registration Deadline is Tuesday Nov 12th
Start your weekend with an authentic Italian meal in the company of other ND/SMC alums. Located in the heart of Chelsea, Crispo is one of NYC’s best kept secrets. “As soon as you step inside Crispo, you’re engulfed by dark brick, polished wood, wrought iron, and the smell of the kind of comforting regional-Italian food you can’t help but gorge yourself on, including the tastiest spaghetti carbonara in New York City.” – Esquire Magazine
A special fixed price menu of $125/person has been prepared for our group. Dinner will include a three-course meal of appetizers, main course and dessert served authentic family-style. Beer & wine is also included. To register for dinner by Tuesday November 12th, go to: Dinner Registration
