Hi colleagues - I'm looking to do a screening for about 150-ish ppl on 11/2 in NYC - in the evening. (This is all last-minute.) I'm looking into a few spaces, but would love to hear from you on what spaces you recommend.
Looking for a venue that can accommodate the following flow:
• A VIP reception (w/ drinks & hors d'oeuvres ) for 40-50 ppl, 40 mins prior to the general call-time
• Screening area would open at the general call-time and wld have drinks and food for the rest of the guests that arrive
• Once we have critical mass in the screening area we'll begin to intro the film and show it
• After the screening well do a talk-back/ Q&A with folx from the film
• Event ends
Thanks all!
Hi there! I am actually supposed to go to a friends film showing at Village East by Angelika next weekend. (I believe a sister venue of Angelika theater) Not sure the layout for the reception portion but I'm assuming they might have a room or space for this.
@EventPlanner716 - TY for the suggestion - greatly appreciate it!
Of course! Will be curious to see who you all book!
Whitby Hotel on 56th has 133 seats but can add a row at the back to make it I think 140 something, they have adjacent event spaces for the reception. Email [email hidden]
The metrograph is another option on the lower east side, although there is another cinema so it’s not fully private and rental of their restaurant is very expensive for a small group.
@EventPlanner302 - great option! TY!
And the Asia Society and the French Institute’s Florence Gould Theater have projection
@EventPlanner302 - thanks for all these options!
Pod Hotel on 39 has a theatre and a few ancillary spaces for drinks/bites
Here's some additional options: NeueHouse, Crosby Hotel, Whitby Hotel, Metrograph, Robin Williams Center, Paley Center, MOMA, French Institute

Hello! I’m looking for a venue/space (could be a restaurant or a hotel meeting room) near Hilton Midtown NYC for 20-30 people for breakfast. Has to offer to-go option too.

Hi everyone!
I have a friend looking for venue ideas in NYC for a creative offsite for 80 people, the CEO does not want anything that feels like an office setting.

Hey everyone - I'm sharing this here because I see a lot of asks around swag. I had dinner with several entrepreneurs last week and one of the founders has a premium sticker company that sells stickers at The Whitney, MOMA, etc. I asked if he does swag / brand collabs and they do. Sharing their deck here if you could find helpful. Maybe this is because I have kids, but I loved the idea of premium stickers as a giveaway item (has anyone else done that??) for laptops, giving to your kids after going to a biz event, etc. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eud8FkLrzpLED03VX5y4-92jThK2cm5W2k3elg7eKfQ/edit?usp=sharing -- his email is [email hidden] if you ever want to reach out

<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.
We are planning some private dining events in NYC and I'm curious if there are any hidden gems of event spaces or private dining rooms (Manhattan) that folks would recommend. Dinners will be about 25 people. We did the last one at Little Owl Townhouse and loved it!!

Does anyone know NYC DOB permitting well or have any recs for people/companies that you’ve used for permitting needs in NYC? This is for a TPA and _maybe_ (but this is what I need to determine) an Alt 2 or Alt 3 permit.
