Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum
Museum

The new Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, located adjacent to the InterContinental Boston, opens on June 25, 2012. Due to extensive fire damage in 2001, the prior existing site of the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, which was established in 1973, was demolished.The new interpretive facility is constructed in its place just steps from the InterContinental Boston. The museum, approximately twice its original size, offers visitors a first-hand, interactive look at the events that took place the night of Dec. 16, 1773 and the days that
followed sparking the American Revolution through a multitude of state-of-the-art exhibits, video presentations, living history programs, and memorabilia. Replicas of the tall ships, the Dartmouth, the Eleanor and the Beaver represent the full complement of ships that took part in the original Boston Tea Party. On board the historic
replica ships, visitors will explore’ decks, crew's quarters, and cargo holds. The Robinson Tea Chest, one of two surviving original tea chests, will be on display in the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum.

Fenway Park
Park
4 mi
Fenway Park is a baseball park near Kenmore Square in Boston, Massachusetts. Located at 4 Yawkey Way, it has served as the home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox baseball club since it opened in 1912, and is the oldest Major League Baseball stadium currently in use. It is one of two "classic" ballparks still in use, the other being Chicago's Wrigley Field. Considered to be one of the best-known sports venues in the world, it has been the oldest venue used by a professional sports team in the United States since the 1991 demolition of Comiskey Park in Chicago. Because of the ballpark's age and constrained location in the dense Fenway–Kenmore neighborhood, the park has had many renovations and additions over the years not initially envisioned, resulting in unique, quirky features, including "The Triangle," "Pesky's Pole", and most notably the famous Green Monster in left field. Dedicated Red Sox fans have sold out every Red Sox home game since May 15, 2003; in 2008, the park sold out its 456th consecutive Red Sox game, breaking a Major League Baseball record. Fans who attended this game received gifts to celebrate this accomplishment. As of March 30, 2011, the Red Sox have had 631 consecutive sellouts, which is easily the best in Major League Baseball history.[5] The sellout streak is aided by the Red Sox's fan base as well as the fact that, as of 2011, Fenway Park has the third lowest maximum capacity of any MLB stadium; it is one of the seven MLB ballparks that cannot accommodate at least 40,000 spectators.

Jake Of Spades
Multi-city
Hey there, I'm Jake Schwartz. It's great to meet you! I performed my first magic shows at 2 years old, making my food “disappear” for my parents at every meal. I quickly became obsessed with the moments a magic trick could create.
|
However, not everyone enjoys being “FOOLED” over and over by a kid, so I learned how to tell STORIES through my magic.
Suddenly, people weren’t made to be the FOOL, they were PART of a STORY.
|
Since then, I've won international awards, appeared on television over 70 times, performed in 3 World Tours with the most viral sports team on the planet as The Savannah Bananas’ Magician First Base Coach, and subsequently launched my very own theater tour - "The Game Changing Magic Tour: The World's Only Magic Show For Sports Fans."
|
This personable, up-beat, and experiential style of magic allowed me to help companies listed on the fortune-500, mom-and-pop businesses, new start-ups, Major League sports teams, World-Series Champions, A-List celebrities, and private groups across the country break down walls, get to know each other, and create LASTING memories through magic.

If you're looking for a personable, engaging, and mind blowing experience for your group - send me/my team a message!
