Wang Contemporary occupies a landmarked 1924 Beaux-Arts building on the Bowery, restored as the future home of a private foundation dedicated to Asian contemporary art. The space brings together the architectural gravitas of old New York — original period detailing, cast stone facade, soaring proportions — with a minimal, atmosphere-first interior sensibility, resulting in a setting that feels both historically rooted and distinctly contemporary. As a foundation space rather than a conventional venue, Wang Contemporary offers a rare institutional context: exhibitions, artist dinners, cultural programming, and select private events set within an active center for Asian contemporary art in the heart of Chinatown. It’s suited to gatherings that call for cultural substance and a sense of occasion — collector previews, foundation events, curated dinners, and partnerships aligned with its artistic mission.

Originally designed by Calvert Vaux, Tavern on the Green was built as a sheep fold in the 1880’s to house the 700 Southdown sheep that grazed in Central Park’s Sheep Meadow. Robert Moses transformed the building in to a restaurant in 1934, as part of his park renovation. Through the next few decades, Tavern underwent several changes in management, but the iconic view of the park, and the addition of a dance floor, outdoor seating, and lavish menu, kept prominent actors, musicians, and public figures coming back to the restaurant to dine, drink, and celebrate. After a hiatus starting in 2009, the city searched diligently for a new operator to reopen the iconic restaurant in 2013. The city selected current owners and restauranteurs Jim Caiola and David Salama, previously of Philadelphia, who would bring a fresh, welcoming approach to Tavern. The duo renovated the restaurant with inviting décor and wood paneling reminiscent of the original sheep fold, and, with a seasonal menu more reflective of Greater New York, reopened Tavern on the Green in April 2014.
