If you haven't been to the cruises yet, the season is half over and the cruises are getting hotter every week.  Last weekend we left the dock with 350, and what a party it was!  This week will be at least that, with a *big* group coming down from the greater Haverhill area, so come on out and meet some new Salseros!  The cruise offers something for everyone, 2 decks of dancing (the salsa deck, the latin deck), and the observation deck on top with Boston's great harbor views.  Free afterparty at Mojitos too. http://salsaboston.com/cruise  or call 617-513-9841
BOOK A GROUP!  Only $25 gets you the full package with food and the lesson.  Corporate parties welcome.   Talk to your HR people (they have funds to pay for it sometimes even!) or let us know and we'll contact them for you.

*** Check out Fridays at Ryles, now a regular occurrence, brought to you by DJ Hernan and Hips on Fire.  Details in the mailbag.

*** A note from one of our sponsors--a great non-salsa party coming up: JetSet Events presents: "The Best of the Best" Experience the Best that Boston has to offer. Thur. July 27 at Whiskey Park. See mailbag below for details!

An Tua Nua is a great contemporary Irish bar & grill on Beacon Street just outside of Kenmore Square (only about 3 blocks from Sophia's).  In the back they have a dance club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating. 

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the B), plenty of street and lot parking.

Irish/America/Bar food available until 10pm.  I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly priced.

Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.
