101 E 69th St, Manhattan/Website The year is 1836. Dwight Eisenhower and Ulysses Grant are sipping on whiskey as they smoke cigars from the designated cigar room. When they are done schmoozing, they head over to the library and skim the tattered pages of Wuthering Heights. Fast forward to 2021. The oldest private club in New York City is still stan...
1 E 60th St, Manhattan/Website Similar to the Union Club, The Metropolitan Club has defined upper-echelon New York culture for hundreds of years. Old money is the name of the game here. Fun fact, the club was founded by J.P Morgan as a protest against other private clubs with stricter admission requirements. Ironically, it doesn’t get more exclusiv...
50 Vanderbilt Ave, Manhattan/Website The name of this club is just as pretentious as its members. Unsurprisingly, this highly-coveted spot is reserved for faculty and alumni of Yale. I’m yawning thinking about the conversations they have here about Shakespeare and Monet. If you’re not an ivy-leaguer yourself, but lucky enough to be connected to one...
564 Park Ave, Manhattan/Website Who runs the world? Girls! The Colony Club is the only club in New York City created just for women. If you call that sexist you should probably stop reading here. It’s all about who you know in this all-female organization, as current members must recommend new members. In 1903, the admissions fee was $150, which is...
66 E 55th St, Manhattan/Website Although the Core Club presents itself as being more welcoming than other private clubs, you still need to pay a $50,000 initiation fee and a $15,000 annual membership fee. Maybe we have different versions of welcoming because those outrageous numbers knock out 99% of New York’s population. Just like other members-on...
29-35 9th Ave, Manhattan/Website The Soho House is definitely the trendiest members-only club on this list. It’s still super exclusive, with a high admissions fee and a waiting list longer than Rao’s, but the crowd is definitely more approachable. Designed for young creatives in the media and the arts, Soho House is more for relevant socialities an...
0 Bond St, Manhattan The name Zero Bond is ironic because you need every bond in the world to get in here. Opened in 2020, this swanky private club is designed for creatives, pro athletes, and relevant figures in the entertainment world. The steep admissions fee is totally worth it for the delicious omakase bar. A members-only hotspot with sushi? S...
1170 Broadway, Manhattan/Website Located in the Johnston Building, which dates back to 1903, The Ned NoMad is built upon the city’s heritage “flawless style, grand gestures, and insatiable hunger for the absolute best.” Setting The Ned apart from other premier establishments, members have a broad range of spaces to relax, connect, work, and indulge...
730 5th Ave, Manhattan/Website Unless you live under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the Aman hospitality franchise. Taking over the world and our Instagram feeds one day at a time, Aman is the epitome of modern-day luxury. So how do you get access to this magical oasis? You can either pay $3,200 per night (yes, that’s the cost of an entry-level s...
