Excellent historic place where to eat and stay! Thank you for the collaboration with the Cliff Dwellers in Chicago enabling the visit to the warm and home like feel of your club and its residences. Dinner was amazing. Staff were all welcoming, kind, and helpful. We even had a tour! We will certainly stay again to take In all of the historically relevant and interesting details.
A beautifully preserved arts devoted building in the Gramercy Park square area including several galleries open to the public and many other public art related activities. Members only areas include dining with dress code and studio/apartments. More history and details on a decent website.
Dont miss an opportunity to visit this landmarked treasure facing Washington Square Park. The admission is free with reservations. The art collections are well presented and can be viewed in an hour. Take time to appreciate the National Arts Club itself. Built in the 1800s it represents that time and the extraordinary talent pool needed to build it.
The Andy Warhol exhibit was wonderful - I never knew about his animal portraits! And Marc Mellons sculptures are a sight to behold. What a privilege and treat to meet him in person at the exhibit!
Best private and exclusive club in the Arts
Informative & free series of architecture lectures offered at this private club. Learn, mingle & discover in style.
Terrific dining room in a beautiful building. The club has very interesting programs for a variety of interests in the arts.
A really nice building with a really great interior. The staff are really friendly, and the doorman at the front reception, as well as the coat check staffer is especially nice to everyone. The programming was superb, I went in for a talk about Artificial Intelligence and it was a great talk. Bathrooms are a little hazardous since doors open like a two-way swinging, double doors, and with extra care and caution for others, you can totally avoid knocking into someone. Great space!
Great figure study! The whole place is also luxurious and beautiful, and Id love to spend more time there. The membership is a bit...oligarchal...
Amazing NYC landmark!
Lovely exhibit space
This place can be hit or miss. Essentially quite conservative the art worlds general pivot to figurative work has made it easier for this venu to exhibit more profound and contemporary art. A recent show featuring contemporary woman artists is excellent. See pics Ive posted including Kyle Staver who shows at Zurcher Gallery,. Run by the incomparable Gwenolee Zurcher.
Fantastic. We were invited to the National Arts Club by a long time member. The staff were above and beyond and went out of their way to make our visit very special. The food was also exceptional. I cannot say anything bad about our afternoon at the club.
The french Martini is to die for as is the sesame shrimp toast. The staff here is warm and friendly. I loved walking in to the pianist playing.
Beautiful building and fun/free Andy Warhol exhibit inside (Fall 2021). What more do you need?
I love the NAC! They host beautiful musical events and exhibitions, and delicious food.The decor is outstanding
Beautiful gallery and wonderful space for artwork. Great customer service with the staff. You can set up a wine bar and have cheese and crackers. Good to show art, have a jazz band and playing music with friends.
Beautiful building. Friendly folks.
One of our guests did not receive his meal until the rest of the table had finished eating. Uncomfortable for all of us.
The National Arts Club is an impecable place to escape for artists and elite New Yorkers. New artists display their original art and events are held concerning culture, fashion, music and arts. All the art is proudly shared for members of the beautiful National Arts Club. Costume events can be a fun evening. The club is beautiful.
I stayed here and when i arrived the room wasnt made up! There was a half eaten pizza on the table and the bed wasnt made. The staff were really rude about it too. If never recommend this place to anyone. Absolutely horrible experience. I think the reason there arent more reviews like mine is because other members are afraid to speak up, because I know that other members have had similar experiences.
Warm atmosphere , wonderful interior details , great people
Theres a bar, art, and figure drawing sessions
The former home of one of the Roosevelts. It is a mansion converted into an art club. Lots of art and lots of culture. The interior of the building is fabulous and it is a great place to visit when they are conducting one of their many functions.
This is a small gallery on the southern part of Gramercy Park. Its a cool space. If you have time on your lunch break, then definitely visit this area.
A very lovely club/building - a time long gone. Art and dark wood and thick carpets. While a private venue, there are opportunities to visit for various events.
A faintly Edwardian brownstone that seems an atmospheric venue for dramas and dance. Oil portraits in heavy gilt frames. Lots of stairs. Dress code (jackets, no jeans) appreciated.
Historic setting. Great art. Particularly enjoy the Pastel Society of Americas Annual show every September!
Whoa! Prepare to be mind blown by this historic venue in a beautiful neighborhood. This place is a great space for all kinds of art lectures.
Cozy convenient location in the city. The interior as well as the exterior are magnificent works of art.
The National Academy is a wondrous beautiful place, with paintings, furniture and items that like a time machine transports you through history.. +ERecording artist- Edwin Vazquez
Beautiful building, interesting+ free event with writer Andre Aciman, cool rooms with sculptures+ art, worth a visit!
I went here for an engagement party. What a space! Velvet padding everywhere and gorgeous art adorning the walls. Id love an excuse to come back to an event here

2022-06-17What a phenomenal venue. The building is absolutely breathtaking with beautiful pieces of art and the architecture is detailed and exquisite. The food menu was updated as they hired a new chef and from what I understand, they offer many more items to choose from. I ordered the beet and whipped goat cheese salad and the braised lamb with vegetables on top of creamy mashed potatoes. It paired well with a Cabernet. For dessert I ordered a berry crisp crumble with gelato and a cappuccino. Everything was delicious and I didnt leave a morsel on the plate. If you have an opportunity to visit, its definitely worth the 2 hours of traffic for us (since we are coming in from Long Island) and it was a wonderful experience. Take a moment and soak in the decor and the beautiful stained glass dome in the bar area. You will not be disappointed!

2021-05-10This is a private club.Most of the members are in the arts. The building on Gramercy Park in Manhattan that the club is located in was the residence of Samuel Tilden, a political figure in the 1800s who ran for President.There is currently an art exhibit at the club. Admission to the exhibit and therefore to some of the building is free for the general public- just go to their website and sign up. Though the works in the exhibit dont differentiate itself from much of what you see in galleries, its not bad and worth seeing. The building the club is in is definitely worth seeing .

2021-12-15As sumptuous as the surroundings are, the friendly staff(and EXCEPTIONAL bartenders) make you feel like you are in your own living room. The Clubs location makes it the ideal launching pad for exploring New York. After a full day of hectic NY experiences, I always love coming back home to tranquil Gramercy Park !
