But for one night, we kept it on land, as Team TURNER helped the Bermuda Tourism Authority host #RaceToBermuda NYC, a private party at the Lightbox in Manhattan to celebrate the forthcoming Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series and the 2017 America's Cup presented by Louis Vuitton, **[both taking place in beautiful Bermuda](http://www.gotobermuda.com/The-35th-Americas-Cup/)**. The event included appearances by America's Cup Event Authority CEO Sir Russell Coutts and ORACLE TEAM USA sailor/bowman Matt Cassidy, among others; music by DJs Paul Sevigny and Bermuda's own Damon DeGraff; and Bermuda-inspired food and beverage tastings from Chef [**Marcus Samuelsson**](http://www.marcusbermuda.com/) and [**Gosling's Rum**](http://www.goslingsrum.com/), as well as champagne courtesy of Moët & Chandon.
