“SIP FOR THE SEA”

A Tasting of Sustainable Wine and Food to Benefit the New York Aquarium

The Wildlife Conservation Society hosts the fourth annual SIP FOR THE SEA benefit to support the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn and showcase WCS’s commitment to marine education and conservation.

6:30 – 9:30 PM.  6:30 PM – Grand Taster admission.  7:30 PM – General admission.  Central Park Zoo.  Fifth Ave at 64th St.

The dramatic transformation of the New York Aquarium is well underway. The centerpiece, a dazzling new building called Ocean Wonders: Sharks! has already begun to resemble the architectural marvel it will become. We have already erected the highest point of the structure, where visitors will find the best view in all of Coney Island.

Few New Yorkers are aware that the waters surrounding this city make up one of the world’s most diverse and vibrant marine environments. The New York Aquarium’s Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit will introduce the city to some of its most remarkable residents, inspiring visitors to help us protect the waters that are so crucial to wildlife and humans alike.

SIP FOR THE SEA, a signature benefit for the Aquarium, is a festive evening featuring pairings of sustainable wines with sustainable seafood and other special offerings from some of New York’s and Brooklyn’s top restaurants. This evening will provide an occasion to celebrate the wonders of the ocean and support the Aquarium as it rebuilds and transforms the exhibits and Brooklyn Coney Island campus into a premier destination.
