My first big project in my new job at Hampton is to plan a member dinner in NYC. I want it to be in a private room, amazing food, and a really “wow” experience in terms of food and venue. Anyone NYC based have a favorite private room / dining experience they recommend? I was thinking of doin gone with Resident but am not 100% sold. Also, if anyone has incredible ice breakers to get CEOS to go deep would love to hear people’s favs. I have always loved “what is keeping you up at night?” as one.

Hi @Jessica Spivack 👋 In another community I’m a member of, a member recommended The Wren (https://www.thewrennyc.com/) for an event in NYC. Hopefully, it’s helpful to you 😊 And, congrats on your new role 🎉

Freeman's is pretty cool - $2.5K F&B min / Blue Room (upstairs) capacity: 10-20 guests seated / lina@alleymanagement.com

Depending on how big your group is, I did a dinner at Blue Willow and they have a great private room situation: https://resy.com/cities/ny/blue-willow https://www.bluewillownyc.com/about-3

Canary Club / $65/person food + $30/person drinks / Capacity: 18 seated (can do 20 but tight) / natalie@canaryclubnyc.com

Wow these are all epic suggestions thanks so much

https://www.cisiamonyc.com/ - really hard to get reservations, I’m happy to make a connection to the head chef if you decide to go in this direction. I didn’t do private dining, but this place will definitely wow you with their menu!

ooo been dying to go here! I’ll make a note you can hook me up there with Chef thanks so much 🙂
