Time Out says

Thu Mar 15 2012

Bust out your flapper gear and brush up on The Great Gatsby: For this outdoor bash, part of Governors Island is transformed into a Prohibition-era soiree, complete with old-timey touches like ’20s motorcars and functional antique gramophones. Over two weekends, you can catch Michael Arenella and His Dreamland Orchestra playing jazz staples, as well as performances by dance group Dreamland Follies and musicians Gelber & Manning. Between sets, snag cool duds and goods from vintage collectors and artisans, and sip era-appropriate cocktails.
