The decor itself is very much classic Americana, with deep blue carpets the hallways, giant rugs, and paintings and art and statues everywhere. We were invited there to go to a charity poker tourney, I think one of the partners was a member there, and women were allowed as it was a charity/social event. One note - all members and guests were required to wear suit & tie. They have spare ties if you didn't have one with you. If you had a bag, there was a coat and bag check near the front. Member names I think on the wall behind the concierge, and you had a room at the front if you insisted on talking on a phone.

They provide tennis lessons as well. The receptionist are friendly and welcoming. They take your picture. They provide the racket/paddle. There is a lounge and waiting area. They have four gender neutral bathrooms. There is plenty of hand sanitizer and tissues around. They have cubbies and a coat rack, to store your items. There is a television playing tennis matches. I had Nicky and Ben as instructors. They were both crystal clear and concise about how to play the game. They were both encouraging and provided tips to play this game.

While I consider the ability to travel a great blessing, I have to admit that certain complications…read moretypically ensue as a result of being away from home. One of those challenges can be how to continue your workout routine (especially as a tennis player). While I don't have specific recommendations for how to alleviate this situation in all cities, I can provide some assistance when it comes to visiting Manhattan in New York City. While searching for some "travel tennis" my record has been mixed. For example, on another trip earlier this year I went 0-fer (despite calling and emailing at least half a dozen Clubs). Well no such drama on this trip. My first (and only) call was to the Manhattan Plaza Racquet Club. Their staff was friendly on the phone (and in person) and they did an outstanding job of arranging a Singles match for me (at my ability level) with a member who was also warm and welcoming. Their 5 indoor courts are well maintained and offer year-round opportunities to play. Quite frankly, when considering all of the times that I've attempted to play "travel tennis", I've never encountered a friendlier, more welcoming, or more helpful staff. I merely posed the innocuous question of, "Are there any opportunities to play at your Club while traveling, even though I'm not a member?" I was then so inundated with the options provided to me that I literally needed to take written notes. Sadly, if someone had posed the same question to my tennis club in San Diego the would have been slammed so quickly in their face that it would have immediately broken their ! The costs associated with your choice of play here are not insignificant, but a traditional membership is not required. The locker rooms are also well maintained and the Club was only about a 10 minute walk from our hotel in Time's Square. And that's...Henry's Take. #manhattantennis

We just hosted my son's birthday party here, and even with minimal decorations, the party looked incredible because the space stands on its own.

They went above and beyond to make the experience feel special, putting so much thought into every detail.
