About The Ribbon

Nestled just steps from Central Park and the historic Dakota building, The Ribbon UWS offers a vibrant blend of classic New York charm and contemporary culinary flair.

The venue features versatile event spaces, including the intimate Arnold Rothstein Room, making it ideal for private celebrations, corporate gatherings, and milestone events.
