C: Is for a club that's a find

The red velvet ropes beckoned to those who know the secret of 49 Grove Street. Beyond the ropes the door of a landmark building and stairs that lead down to a hidden sanctuary. Plush intimate nooks allow for supreme people watching without being watched. Comfort is segmented into four distinct area's reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century private club or your parents basement. With a seating capacity of 300 which is highlighted by dark woods, lavish fabrics, and state-of-the-art audio/visual system which is shockingly unobtrusive. You can actually have a conversation, which in itself is rare in a a club setting. Their service is unsurpassed with a wide range of services including open bar, passed and stationary hors d’oeuvres, sit down dinners and buffet selections that will tempt event the biggest critic. Accommodating they offer seven days, 24 hour availability.

Conceived and designed by veteran New York City and Hampton's restaurateur and night club impersinario, Aram Sabet, 49 Grove fuses together an unparalleled mixture of service, intimacy, comfort and style. A dramatic showplace created with an atmosphere of luxury and fun, with a keen attention to every detail. Internationally renowned Feng Shui consultant Judith Wendell was hired to ensure the lounge exudes the right energy and G.E.M. Audio Services, which designed the sound system for both Avery Fisher Hall and Jazz @ Lincoln Center, was tapped for 49 Grove’s system as well.
Their were two caterers the night I attended. The 1st was "All About Food" which served a delicious guacamole and white chocolate covered peanut butter balls. The second I can't tell you about as the card is missing. I will find it and share more on this amazing caterer as it was some of the best food I have ever had. The tuna tartar was so fresh I thought it was steak tartar at first. There was also an introductory to a brand new company called "Wine Cellar Sorbet" which I will add more when I find the other card.

49 Grove is elegant, comfortable, charmingly run by it's owner who is approachable and caring and a place to hang when in the village. I highly reccommend this if you are looking to have a company Christmas party or a personal bash that you want talked about for some time to come. In NYC clubs spring up everyday but it is a F.A.C.T. that it is hard to find the right fit. 49 Grove is that fit.
