A DLFNY NightSeeing™ River Cruise

A DLFNY NightSeeing™ River Cruise:
In Search of City Lights

September 16, 2025
6:00pm - 9:30pm (boat leaves at 6:30pm)
Pier 60 at Chelsea Piers (West 19th St and West Side Highway)

DLFNY Members: $40

Join DLFNY for an unforgettable evening as they welcome the fall season with a twilight cruise around Lower Manhattan, featuring urban lighting expert and nighttime designer Leni Schwendinger and architect Joseph Lengeling.

As we sail past icons such as the Statue of Liberty, the World Financial Center, and the Brooklyn Bridge, our speakers will reveal the rich history and evolving story of New York City’s illuminated skyline and sparkling street corridors —revealing how past and present lighting projects have shaped the way we design, experience, and interpret the city at night.

This cruise is a unique opportunity to experience the urban landscape from the riverside view and explore the ways that lighting and architecture continue to shape the city after dark. Light dinner fare, wine and beer, and—hopefully—a beautiful sunset will be served.
