Absolutely everything we could have hoped for. The space was exceptional, the owner and her team were a pleasure to work with on every level and we had the most amazing event. All our guests were floored with how unique and beautiful the space was and it made everything perfect. So thankful and would definitely recommend this venue. It’s a piece of “secret New York” that reminds you that there is still magic behind a building door that you never expected and renews your love of NYC and it’s rich history.
6 stars! This space is everything it promises to be--unique, beautiful, dramatic. It created the exact ambiance I wanted to have for my milestone birthday celebration. Clara, the owner, was a sheer delight to work with. She was warm, accommodating, and flexible--she could not have been a better host.
This space was beyond amazing, perfect for our speaking event and I hope to book again in the future. Clara was also the most helpful and gracious host, a very special person with a wonderful energy!
I recently worked with Clara to have a 3-day team offsite meeting. Clara was wonderful to work with and was able to accommodate multiple requests for shipping materials in advance and was extremely flexible with regards to our booking. The space itself worked very well for a group of 15 people with areas for team discussion and individual break out sessions. I would highly recommend this venue.
Beautiful lighting and space great for filming! Host was accommodating, even with last minute changes to schedule! Would absolutely shoot here again!
This place is absolutely stunning, it's a piece of old New York with lots of charm and character. I held a birthday party here and everyone could not stop praising how amazing this place was. (The high ceilings and sky light and huge space sure help) But even more than how beautiful it is, u could not ask for a lovelier and kinder host. Clara went above and beyond what a host needed to do to make sure we were all happy and enjoyed ourselves. I'm so thankful for her and her hospitality and for giving us a night to remember . Thank you
I used this space for a small company offsite. It was incredible! It's large (we comfortabley had 16 people there), and the design was overwhelmingly incredible! We all left feeling inspired and happy. Clara was the most gracious host! She was never far away so was able to jump in on a number of occasions to provide us with random things we needed. (For example, a stool, an extension cord, etc.) She even made folks coffee! This is where we'll be looking to go for all future offsites!
