Rent the perfect private dining room in Upper Manhattan

Host at Nightly's to make your next special event feel like a cozy night with friends. Self-proclaimed neighborhood joint Nightly’s has brought comfort back to fine dining. American food, martinis, and friendly servers - what else do you need? You won’t have any leftovers to take home, with upscale classics such as the chargrilled Caesar or black tie burger at the center of the menu. The space fits up to 75 for a full restaurant buyout. For a more intimate evening, try the Boardroom: a curtained private table space for 7 to 10 guests, for seclusion without losing any of the hubbub.

Previously named the top restaurant in America by Forbes, Restaurant Daniel is no stranger to a good review. This Michelin-starred eatery is the epitome of Upper East Side class, with fresh white tablecloths and majestic chandeliers. The hospitality is unforgettable, the ambiance is pampering, and the menu is chef’s kiss. If you want to go all out, the tasting menu gives you the best array of flavors… and the best shots for Instagram. Private dining options range from 20 to 90 guests, for weddings, parties, or if you just feel like reenacting the entire Rattatouille movie (that was our instinct).

Just steps from the American Natural History Museum and Central Park lies Asset. Known for their creative and asian inspired dishes, Asset has been a staple of the Upper West Side dining scene for years. The cool yet elevated design of this restaurant is unlike anything else in the area. There are two levels, creating ample space for parties up to 220 for a full restaurant buyout. Your guests will have everything they need with a bar on each floor and multiple private areas for smaller groups to gab. If that wasn’t enough, there is outdoor seating to enjoy the perfect NYC summer.

An iconic twist on Italian, Bad Roman has been the talk of the up-town for several years now, and rightfully so. The fun and bright decor makes for the perfect picture, as do the menu highlights: filet mignon topped with raviolo or roni cups (which you must dip in ranch, we don’t make the rules). There is a fun and youthful vibe with the decor: glowy lights and bright colors are made to make you feel like a kid again. For your next event, you can host a group of 60 in the Piazza room and 50 in the Lazzeri room. A full restaurant buyout would hold 100 guests to live out all your maximalist, whimsical dreams.

Is the city getting a little too cold for you? Let’s play pretend for an evening. If you head uptown on the west side near 86th st, you might just find a slice of the Mediterranean masquerading as an Upper West Side brasserie. Elea combines rustic Greek dishes with upscale hospitality to provide a beautifully satisfying meal. The Octopus and Tuna Tartar will transport you straight to the beach with just one bite. There are multiple spaces to rent out for private events, ranging from 45 to 145 guests. Start with a walk through Central Park and end at Elea: you won’t be disappointed.
