The Paley Center for Media is a nonprofit cultural institution located at 25 West 52 Street in Midtown Manhattan. Founded in 1975 by broadcasting pioneer William S. Paley — originally as The Museum of Television & Radio — the center examines the intersections of media and society through exhibitions, screenings, and educational programming, drawing on an international collection of media materials. It has been recognized as The City's Best "Best Museum" for three consecutive years. For private events, the museum offers a range of venues suited to film and television premieres, industry screenings, press events, and private receptions. The Bennack Theater and George J. Gillespie, III Theater both feature state-of-the-art technology and Dolby Atmos sound, while the Fetzer Lobby, McLaughlin Library, and Kissinger Global Conference Room provide flexible settings for gatherings of varying sizes.

Union Square has been a gathering area for about 170 years—for trade, entertainment, labor and political rallies, and relaxation. The park gets its name from its location at the crossroads of two important New York City thoroughfares, Bloomingdale Road (now Broadway) and Bowery Road (now Fourth Avenue). Union Square first opened to the public on July 19, 1839. Its paths, which wind through lushly landscaped lawns, were inspired by London's affluent residential squares. The design concentrated on a big central fountain, which was constructed for the completion of the Croton Aqueduct in 1842, and accentuated the park's oval shape (contained by an iron picket fence). Union Square became a significant commercial and residential area as New York City's downtown extended northward. The grounds of Union Square have hosted a variety of public gatherings, including parades, labor protests, political rallies, and official events such as the United States Sanitary Commission's Great Metropolitan Fair in 1864. Because of its significance in American labor history, the United States Department of the Interior designated Union Square Park as a National Historic Landmark in 1997. The park line will be extended south 14th Street, and the traffic island on which the Gandhi statue now sits will be incorporated into the park.

Theo Lieberman oversees the wine program, a list featuring an exceptional selection of vintages and delicious wines.

The menu reflects Chef and Co-owner Ryan Hardy’s thoughtful interpretation of what he describes as a nod to Italian cuisine, influenced by his passion for making cheese, curing meats, digging for clams, diving for urchin, farming produce and crafting handmade pasta.

This private hidden gem - a townhouse with 9,000 square feet of indoor space and a 1,500 square foot decked rooftop garden - is located on a quiet stretch of Hudson Street where the Far West Village and the Meat Packing District cross.
