The Lambs Inc. (the revised name) moved into a new clubhouse recently which is 3 or 4 rooms at 1674…read moreBroadway. It was decorated nicely with paintings and rare editions of books contained in a small library used also as a conference room. I was there for a Meet and Greet" Cinco Del Mayo night to consider becoming a member. The members were friendly. However, there was no restaurant on the premises. They do cater some of their events up to about 42 people. I was told you can bring your own food in if you desire to. Also, they had a beautiful bar but no liquor license or bartender. The policy was bring your own bottle and use the glassware provided and be responsible for washing whatever used which I feel creates unsanitary conditions in this day and age of viruses going around. Also, there was no check room and attendant to secure your coat (in cool and inclement weather) or valuables. There wasn't any staff present only the members. If accepted as a member after filing an application and going through a formal interview your spouse wasn't able to use your benefits. He or she would be treated as an ordinary guest. The dues are reasonable and there is an initiation fee. There were only a few young members there and mostly single senior citizens filled the rooms. I did not see any couples present. 2 small phone booths were provided to use your phone so the other members would not be disturbed. There is a small area with a beautiful pool table there for members to shoot. There is no receptionist or security upon entrance. A member would have a fob or phone app to gain entrance into the building and take the elevator to the third floor. There are weekly events scheduled, free and paid. I went for the membership interview and was denied membership. Maybe it was because I spoke my mind and asked some concerning questions since I have been a member of 2 other social clubs that offered much more to their members and their partners.

I choose the pass with the lounge chair which also includes entry into the pool. If you opt for just pool access you cannot use the lounge chairs. We had a very friendly and pleasant server who offered her recommendations and accommodated any and all of our requests. I had the burger which was accompanied with fries which were freshly cut and tasted great. My friends shared a sushi dish which they enjoyed as well. Overall it was a peaceful and relaxing experience and would return again.

The staff even made me feel special by surprising me with a complimentary birthday slushy type shot, which was such a thoughtful touch. Because of that experience, when one of my coworkers wanted to celebrate their birthday, I immediately suggested we celebrate here. Overall, the staff was amazing. The hostess was friendly and went above and beyond. Our server, Jaleen, was fun, vibrant, and truly made our experience enjoyable. Unfortunately, my only complaint is with the manager, Temmi. Everyone knew we were celebrating my coworker's birthday. After we had paid our bill and were getting ready to leave, I politely mentioned to Temmi that during my birthday visit, I had received a small birthday frozen surprise, but my coworker hadn't received any birthday acknowledgment. Her first response was that she didn't know it was my coworker's birthday, which was surprising because it had been mentioned throughout our visit. Instead of offering a solution, she immediately gave multiple excuses as to why nothing could be done. As someone who has worked in customer service for years, I understand that things happen. However, great management is about finding solutions, not making excuses. Even a small gesture would have gone a long way. Instead, she simply said, "Well, yeah, it's closed, sorry" turned her back, and dismissed me. That response was rude, dismissive, and completely changed how I felt about the experience. It's unfortunate because every other staff member was exceptional. They hostess and servers deserve recognition for their service. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled by management left such a negative impression that I will not be returning or recommending the rooftop pool to others. It's disappointing because I know firsthand how memorable this place can be when guests are made to feel celebrated.

The New York Athletic Club (NYAC) is enormous, including the grand size of the lobby (that is…read morelarger than most train stations). Because the lobby is so large, it gives a certain sterile, cold, and unwelcoming feeling as you enter. It rather sets the tone for the stay... Since the NYAC has nearly 200 rooms, one could argue that it's a hotel as well as an athletic club. That being the case, the front desk does a great job of processing the hundreds of people checking in and out on a daily basis. They don't take a ton of time with each guest, but -- frankly -- they don't have the luxury to do so. My room felt a bit small, but it was fresh, clean, modern, and bright. I was able to get quite a bit of work done at the desk. Having worked through lunch, I tried to get food between lunch and dinner service, but there wasn't any offered inside the NYAC. So I went for a walk instead -- it was a gorgeous day! Back in time for dinner, I ate in the main dining room on the 11th floor. The room is beautiful with a large, oval bar in the middle. Service was strong. Drinks were great. Food was mediocre. You can't control the temperature in your room -- the system is either on or off -- so that's a negative. Still, I slept pretty well and enjoyed the comfortable bedding. I didn't eat breakfast but showered before my departure. The shower is AMAZING! If I had known how great it was, I would have showered at least one more time during my stay. : ) Checkout at the front desk was fast and efficient, just like the check-in process.

I appreciate the club seeking to maintain fashion standards and curating an old-timey atmosphere…read more However, when it is done beyond reasonable common sense, it does not incentivize me to come back. I was a guest of a member during the 18-inch snow storm, so I wore my $500 dollar suede Danner lights (Made in the USA) to manage the snow. Upon entry, I was informed by the staff that, due to the suede being too light, it looked too much like Timberland boots, which are banned. I was professionally whisked to a backroom, where I was offered to wear black loafers 3 sizes too large if I wanted to make my appointment. I spent the rest of my time skipping through the venue in order to not trip over myself, wearing massively oversized shoes. I would have been okay with this footwear restriction if it was universally enforced, but there were plenty of people in the club wearing duck boots, metal hook leather hiking boots, and even the same type of boots of a slightly darker shade. Apparently, the shoe shade restriction was not something members are aware about (the no sneakers restriction is well known). I have previously been a guest here with positive experiences. However, today I was put in an illogically unsafe experience, forced to wear loaner shoes 3 sizes too large, because $500 lighter suede boots are deemed less classy than duck boots for being too"Timberland like" during a snow storm.

In fact, we loved the Pratt House so much that we planned our entire wedding, which was on September 29, 2018, around the availability of the Pratt House. We were in trustworthy and professional hands with April from the day of our tour throughout the wedding planning process to the day of our wedding. April was always just a phone call or email away to answer our questions and reassure us when we became stressed. April and the rest of the team at the Pratt House truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day a special, memorable, and unique day for ourselves and our guests. On the day of our wedding, the Pratt House looked stunning and our guests couldn't stop raving about our choice of venue. I was particularly blown away, as were our guests, of the Pratt House library as a cocktail hour space (which I highly recommend). Working with the Pratt House staff and our vendors (many of whom were recommended by the Pratt House), we were able to personalize the space to fit our travel themed wedding by adding unique floral arrangements and centerpieces and add sentimental touches to the space. We were blown away by the Pratt House, as were our guests. I cannot recommend The Harold Pratt House highly enough if you are looking for a wedding venue with personality and class, where you and your guests will feel at home.

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.

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.
