Not since the 19th century they have been so interested in clubs. Suddenly, everyone who is someone has joined with a departure from the Schmoozy society that appears to all interests and income, from Casa Cipriani for the social team, to the Leash Club for the canine parents.
Even the old guard throughout West 44th Street, Aka Club Row, as well as other abandonment organizations such as the National Arts Club, Lotos Club and University Club, again attract fresh faces.
“I am a wonderful guest in most clubs in the city, but I usually be attracted to the clubs of the old New York School, where you are taking a step in time,” said the residential runner Mike Fabbri of the agency, who lives in Gramecyry Park and joins the next National Arts Club. “After Covid, there has been a resurgence of people who want to belong and have a community.”
But it is not just a spirit of Bonhomie or overpowering restaurants that lead neoyorcan people to exclusive sets, but they are smart money. Unlike a typical restaurant, bar or space, a member model allows the founders and operators to avoid taxes. This is because social clubs are considered non -profit, where the boys remain in the club’s pockets and the benefits of funding members. Whenever income is not used with the private benefit of any particular person, a club is clear to the IRS.
Better yet, 35% of a social club revenue can even come from non -member sources, including investment revenue. But taxes must be paid up to 15% of the income of non -invited members of the members, that is, public steps.
And there is absolutely nothing on this land that real estate investors love them more than saving on taxes. Financial John Paulson, who recently bought the princeton club’s default mortgage, told Page Six that he can make it a place for “20 and 30-year-old vibrant young people” as “his place to go.” And it is not surprising that Jeff Klein left $ 130 million to build the new “IT” club, the San Vicente West Village, at Jane Hotel.
Initiation costs an amount of $ 3,200 to $ 15,000 with annual quotas of $ 1,800 to $ 4,200, depending on the age.
“We have received many social club consultations for property we represent,” said Lee Block from RTL (formerly Winick). “There is a lot of activity in the city.”
The celebrity of London Hauunt Anabelle opened in 1963 and has had several iterations. But the son of the founder, Robin Brierly, has collaborated with the owners of Statuside the Reath Brothers in Maxime’s, which opened in March at the old Westbury Hotel, at 848 Madison Ave.
The twenty-two, another club in London, opened at the end of last year at 16 E. 16th St. From Reloci Brothers to the FlatIRON district by Union Square and includes a public restaurant and a hotel along with the private club and the roof nightclubs.
Meanwhile, Miami Hotspot Casa Tua opened at the New Surrey Hotel at 20 E. 76th St. It has an annual $ 4,300 fee rising to $ 7,000 if you want to visit the other locations in Aspen and Miami (after the start rates). But the restaurant is open to non -members.
“Casa Tua is the new hot place,” said Lisa Simonsen, a residential agent with Brown Harris Stevens, who belongs to “many” clubs. “I join those who adapt to me and my family.”
Social clubs looking for a house have been looking 26 Little W. 12th St. In the meatpacking district, the runners said.
“There are many actions on various member clubs seeking to expand here or coming from abroad,” said Jared Epstein of Aurora Capital Associates. “It makes a lot of sense because he looks on the Hudson River.”
Nearby, Jean-Georges Vongerichten turned its former species market restaurant into 403 W. 13th St. In the elegant dining club of Chez Margaux. The rates range from $ 1,800 to $ 2,600 a year, according to age, with an initiation of $ 1,000 to $ 2,000.
Chez Margaux is not far from where he became the pool of Soho Global Soho and his famous on the roof of the celebrity, he became the Club du Jour when opened in 2003 to 29-35 Ninth Ave. Properly, Vongerichten’s partner at the club is the Michael Cayre developer, Midtown Equities, who bought Soho House from Ron Burkle in 2012. Low of the Manhattan Battery Maritime Battery in the private and successful Cipriani house.
“If you travel a lot, Soho House has places worldwide, but it became public and no longer feels so exclusive and culturally relevant and lost its brightness,” said Brandon Charnas, a commercial agent with current real estate advisers.
Charnas received and rented Zero Bond, and then helped Night Club’s outstanding founder, Scott Sartiano, to launch the club during Covid in 2020. The “No Photos” policy of Zero Bond helped to become a famous mess for Taylor Swift and Leonardo DiCaprio. Elon Musk had a party here in 2021, in the same year he frequented the zero obligatory flyer at night, Mayor Eric Adams, celebrated his victory on the night of the election day, and welcomed people in a VIP room unlocked with a fingerprint scanner.
The owner of the Midtown building, Craig Deitelzweig, of Marx Realty, is currently negotiating leases with two different social clubs for its office properties in New York and DC.
“Our buildings have a social club feeling and the clubs have a natural gravitation that adds the cache of the building,” said Deitelzweig. “Clubs like buildings that have a fantastic heritage and atmosphere.”
“Being in a real member club is like belonging to a community; it is not to sell immediate access, but to sell relationships.”

Each of the clubs will have their own restaurant, said Deitelzweig, while the DC Club will allow all tenants to use their terrace.
“People love them in the postcobal world because they want to be social and form their own networks,” he said.
Most building owners believe that social clubs are a “solid comfort”, said Robert Gilman, a CPA with the Anchin accounting firm.
For example, in Hudson Yards, Gilman says the ZZ club has been “prominent”. Operated by Major Food Group, at 37 Hudson Yards, his moniker comes from the nickname of the founder Jeff Zalaznick. Includes a Japanese restaurant, a cigar terrace, a music program and has a private location for its Carbone restaurant. The website shows $ 20,000 to start -and $ 10,000 in annual rates.
The new residential and offices tower of the Rabina developer, in Midtown, at 520 Fifth Ave., will also open a five -story social club, Moss, which will have a sauna, a cold plumage pool and a hammam plus space for podcasts, dining rooms and events.
But the large number of new clubs has some problems.
Charnas warns that members’ clubs swell in a “dotcom bubble”.
“Everyone throws them,” Charnas said. “Not all will survive. They are getting their fees ahead while restaurants are called” Member Clubs “. Being in a real member club is like belonging to a community: it is not to sell immediate access, but to sell relationships.”
