meals that matter
The Real Deal reports on the brokers’ favorite dining spots to meet clients and speak about big bucks. On the Upper East Side, the Metropolitan Club, founded by J.P. Morgan in 1891 at 1 East 60th Street, is a classic. No press, no photographers, no cell phones permitted; the privacy is almost total here. In midtown, the Four Seasons remains a hallmark and needs no introductions. Nearby at 60 East 55th Street, the Core Club has been attracting New York elites over the recent years. This club features a massage parlor, a gym, a library and a screening room. Famous artworks are displayed throughout the club. All this is offered for $50,000 initiation fee and $15,000 in annual dues. In Tribeca, many agents like the Odeon (145 West Broadway) because tables are set apart allowing a more open conversation with the clients. In Soho, the favorites include the Crosby Hotel, featuring a beautifully designed space, Mercer Kitchen, featuring a great menu choice as well as specialty cocktails, and the staple Balthazar which provides a joyous atmosphere to finalize the last details of a deal.
