I do a weekly podcast, and once you take their intro class, you can rent the studio for about $25/hour. Super easy process. Honestly, it's one of the most affordable options in NYC if you're trying to get into podcasting or any kind of creative media.

This space is bare and ready for a designer or wedding planner to come in and work their magic. I'd high recommend hugging a professional to design and customize the space as you are only renting only the venue and have to bring in everything else (furniture, decor, food, serving staff, etc.) to go in it. The place has two bathrooms, a couple different levels with stairs, a terrace with a beautiful view of the Hudson River and a back area with a couple refrigerators and plenty of space where you can store everything that shouldn't be seen by guests. There is a spot in a corner up some stairs where you can have dejay set up or you can connect your own decide to play music through Sonos. Every window you look out of provides a spectacular view of the vast city or the water. It's on the top floor of the building in the penthouse that has a guard on the first floor and two elevators. People actually inhabit the lower floors. The current Ramscale studio director Madeline is a joy to work with in that she's timely in her email responses and very helpful all the way around in answering any questions that come up.

From the huge windows and the over-sized patio, you can catch beautiful Hudson River sunsets and glimpses of how the well-to-do live since Bono and Nicole Kidman's buildings are just a few blocks away (trust me, I spent some time wishing I had some high-powered binoculars...) We hosted a launch event for a client here, and at first glimpse were kind of in awe of and surprised by the unique quality of the site and weren't sure it was what we wanted (since we booked it sight unseen.) We worked with the venue manager Rocky (the best,) to make it our own through A/V set ups, moving furniture and all of the visual fixins provided by our event company Events By Dano (see review,) and it really ended up being a fantastic place to work with. No stuffy ballroom, no crappy, dirty, overdone nightclub space; Ramscale provides you with something different and unique. Pros: - great space with great stories and history and a one-of-a-kind view of the Village and the Hudson - amazing management by Rocky; available for anything, ready for anything and gives the best tips on good food you can order in during your event set-up. Flexible, accommodating, laid-back and friendly but professional. - the place is completely white, so it serves as a blank canvas to bring in whatever colors you need whether for a corporate event or for a wedding or other special event. Cons: - It's a few blocks from the 2 closest subway stops and it's nearly impossible to catch a cab on the West Side Hwy following. Bottom line? Not the most convenient of places as compared to a venue in Midtown. - It can be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

As a venue, it's classy and chic. From the perspective of an event planner, it's several months of work. The empty whiteness needs to be color lit, the audio needs to be set up and stretched to the far corners of the room and the ground needs something to un-hinge it from the wall and add dimension. Furniture needs to be brought in, electricians, and coat closet workers. The beauty is both in the simplicity of the space, and the amount of imagination (and $$$) to execute a really fantastic event or show here.
