In case any of your guests will be travelling from afar, it’s worth having a look at places located near Penn Station. Manhattan is also filled with fantastic spots of all styles and sizes. We recommend you check out Midtown, SoHo, or Tribeca, to name a few. For anyone living in Brooklyn, we suggest you have a look around Williamsburg or Brooklyn Heights. And don’t forget about Queens! Astoria, Jackson Heights or Flushing are great places filled with spots suitable for any taste.

Absolutely! The city’s hidden backyards, as well as terraces and gardens adjacent to restaurants and cafes, are all waiting for your retirement party. We strongly recommend Midtown Manhattan's Rooftop at Avenida Cocina & Cócteles - an intimate rooftop venue with open roof for up to 80 guests, boasting plant-filled walls and flexible layout.
