Private Dining

The Down Town Association is the finest location for any type of private event. The flexibility of our unique building suits a daytime business meeting as well as an evening reception. Unlike any others in Lower Manhattan, our very private rooms offer stunning spaces for social events such as weddings, anniversary dinners, bridal showers and bar and bat mitzvahs.

Established in 1859, the Down Town Association has a distinguished history as the oldest private club in Lower Manhattan. Our 45,000 square foot Clubhouse is a triumph of 19th century Romanesque Revival architecture and is located on Pine Street, one block north of Wall Street. A New York Landmark, the Down Town Association building has been in continuous use for more than a century, longer than any other club building in New York City. Built in 1887 to the designs of noted architect Charles C. Haight, the Club is an elegant reminder of a genteel time and exudes the exclusivity that defined classic New York at the turn of the last century.

Our menus feature a range of culinary combinations which can be uniquely arranged for any occasion. Our Executive Chef will prepare a delectable fare, prepared only from the finest and freshest ingredients and is always available to work with our clients in creating just the right menu to make any event memorable.

Our Private Dining Managers will assist you with every aspect of planning your event from the selection of wines to compliment your menu and the photographer and florist for your wedding to making sure that all your audio visual needs are met for your next all-day seminar/ meeting.
