We saw the Christmas Golden Girls show here yesterday and it was fantastic…read more Tiny little theater, probably seats about four rows of people. Buy your ticket either online or at the door - my friend tried to buy our tix a few weeks ago when she was in town and they wouldn't let her. We dropped by earlier in the afternoon yesterday too and they still weren't selling them. Golden Girls is one of my FAVORITE shows so this show was awesome. Fun fact: the actors who play Sophia and Dorothy are married! (Now THAT'S weird to think about lol....) Also, Rose and Sophia are played by the same guy, which I didn't notice at first. I loved how they occasionally broke the fourth wall too (broke character). The show was hilarious and not bad for tickets either, about $32 for a 70 minute show. They do different shows all the time too - this was the last day they were doing the Christmas episode, I believe - and so I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the city.

Absolutely livid about this place. I booked it to watch a movie for my sisters bachelorette party…read moreand did it specifically here because they told me they'd have a dvd player that we could use. We get there and the guys didn't even know what room we had booked, and then spent AN HOUR AND A HALF trying to get their dusty dvd players to work which which eventually failed and we needed to watch YouTube videos instead. Basically ruined the entire night. Loved the vibe but yea if you need DVDs and for an important event, the players will be dusty and staff will try to blame it on you. Super friendly but don't rely on them.

Afterwards, we went to the second floor for dinner. The dining area was very grand. We were seated right away. Even though it was peak dining hours, the space was pretty empty. Service throughout the meal was exceptional. The wait staff was so attentive and friendly. The food on the other hand was not the best. It stated off strong with a bread basket. The bead was warm and tasty with delicious butter on the side to spread on it. For my meal, I ordered a French onion soup and lobster tail Cobb salad. The FRENCH ONION SOUP was unfortunately quite watery and bland. The LOBSTER TAIL COBB SALAD was ok. There were a good amount of toppings on the salad and the portion was huge. But the main star, the lobster tail, was ice cold, rubbery and also very bland. All in all, even though the space is beautiful and service is impeccable, the food is just ok - really wish there was a bit more flavor to the dishes.

I just had my DREAM WEDDING here. It was like a fairy tale. I would give it 10 stars if I could!…read more When I first started wedding planning, I agonized, BOY did I agonize over how to have a cost effective wedding in New York. My now husband and I are in our early/mid 30's and were paying for much of it ourselves with help from our moms. So while we had plenty of help, we did not have unlimited resources. So many reviews of NYC wedding venues say, "Oh, I had my fantasy wedding here!" Of course you did. We can all have the Manhattan wedding of our dreams with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Anyways, there are many blogs about having a New York wedding on a budget. Have your wedding in the park and then go to a nice alcohol free brunch! Have a potluck in the park! Just bring cute umbrellas and galoshes if it rains, don't worry, the pictures will be SOOO CUTE! Have a wedding at the courthouse and then hire a food truck to feed all your friends, yum and sure to impress hipsters everywhere. I know, have it on a random Wednesday afternoon! I poured through countless blogs and articles about having a wedding in Manhattan on a budget....And I was just like....no. First of all, my husband and I could not be further from "shabby chic." A farm or outdoor wedding with mason jars etc etc was just not going to work for us. (Not that that is usually any cheaper, don't be fooled!) I wanted the REAL DEAL. An aisle to walk down. A place where I could have live classical music during the ceremony. Saturday night. Dinner. Dancing. A place where I didn't need a rain plan. THE WHOLE KIT AND KABOODLE. Of course, my now husband would have been totally cool with just going to the courthouse and calling it a day, but while I am no bridezilla, I was having none of that. Everywhere I turned (looking online and making inquiries etc), the prices were out of our budget, and the venue often worked with exclusive vendors, locking you in to whatever they charged. I discovered Landmark on the Park while perusing the New York Wedding Guide "Splurge vs. Save" feature on venues. The Angel Orensanz Foundation was the "splurge", Landmark being the "save". A church wedding without ACTUALLY getting married in a church? SIGN ME UP. For about five thousand dollars, I looked no further. Seriously, I called, met Darius, and gave them our deposit right then and there. I did not shop around or visit any other place. IT IS GORGEOUS! And I mean come on-the whole church but not a church thing was perfect for a non practicing catholic bride and non practicing jewish groom getting married by their gay presbyterian aunt .They will even cover the Jesus washing feet mural and Tiffany alter for you. I could have an aisle to walk down and a beautiful acoustic for live classical music, AND have the reception and ceremony be in the same place. Yes please! They run a tight ship-they pipe and drape off the main part of the cathedral where the tables are for the reception, and the ceremony is in the front of the church. Later those chairs move to the dinner tables, and the ceremony area becomes the cocktail reception, and later the dance floor. No muss, no fuss, no big break between the ceremony and reception. Tables and piano included, no extra charge. They also include chairs but we rented smaller ballroom chairs from out caterer. Darius was a dream to work with every step of the way. Friendly, helpful, positive, pro-active. We were in such good hands and I could not be happier to have found this place. He was very responsive to all of our questions whenever we had them. While it was more work for me to have a venue that was not all inclusive, it allowed me to shop around and hire the vendors we wanted, many of whom were already dear friends, or recommended by friends. All of our friends and family kept saying they weren't expecting our wedding to be so "fancy". It truly had a grand feel to it, given the sheer size and how beautiful it looks at night with candles everywhere. And right off Central Park-it felt very much like US. Very New York, and all of our friends in the city could come without schlepping to some random midwestern suburb that neither of us visit any more. The bathrooms are a little small and not fancy-I only mention this for anyone who has a crazy mother who's going to go in there and get kooky about it. Also, you only get the venue from about 5-10 PM. People were definitely NOT ready to leave by 10, everyone was having such a great time. No big deal, I'd always rather leave people wanting more than have it get sloppy, but in hindsight I would have paid 500 extra to have the space until 11. Our wedding came in at around 30K for 100+ people smack in the middle of Manhattan, with all the fixings of a traditional wedding. And it was NICE with really and truly a high end feel to it. We have Darius and Landmark on the Park to thank and we are so grateful. It was absolutely perfect and has our highest recommendation.

Where do I begin? If you're looking for an event space, look no further. Landmark is IT…read more This was the first and last place we looked at to host our 135 person wedding. We knew from the minute we talked to Darius that planning an event here would be easy as pie. He is beyond helpful and will go out of his way to ensure your event goes off without a hitch. And he is one of the most professional vendors I have ever worked with. It's refreshing when you find someone who doesn't give you a hard time and who genuinely wants to see your event be the best it can be. Then the space itself...it's impressive, to say the least. It's beyond accommodating and spacious, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how cool and unique it was. Working with a good uplighting company can enhance it even further, but even if you can't do that, the setting is so gorgeous you won't have to worry about dressing it up too much. One of the best parts is that your rental fee includes SO MUCH. Unlike other raw spaces, which charge thousands for an empty room, Landmark saves you money in the long run by providing tables, chairs, pipe and drape, even theatrical lighting. Their staff is professional and quick. We had the ceremony and the reception in the same space, and there were no issues with turnaround time. Not to mention, the location is right across the street from Central Park! You can't ask for a better setting when it comes to wedding photos. Check out some of mine :) All in all, Landmark is truly a hidden gem that should be utilized by couples looking to add a unique flair to their wedding, without breaking the bank. I owe so much to Darius and his staff. You'll have to provide the other services (catering, DJ, etc) but knowing you've at least got the space under control is one less bit of planning stress you'll have to deal with. Feel free to DM me if you want to know more!

They host an evening once a month [normally; they didn't have one last month but posted a podcast instead] to talk about some weird or unique food item and discuss its historic and scientific backgrounds. Topics have ranged from chemical flavoring to candy, fake meats to gelatin. There are always samples and $5 drink specials [usually featuring some whiskey or bourbon, which I definitely enjoy] and both hosts have a great stage presence, presenting some facts and anecdotes in a very casual, approachable way. They currently hold the events at Public Assembly, which is a pretty good space for it I guess...although the bathrooms there are crazy dark and not the best--maybe that's why they keep them so dark, so you can't see the horrors within! Regardless, I love the fact that this group exists, and even better is free to attend--I'll definitely keep going back.

This is happy hour and meeting people without pressure - exactly what the company is going for. Since I am the first to review, and I do love that, I'll give you all the low down. It's happy hours for professional singles looking to meet other professional singles. Simple as that. It was all about the execution. Event started promptly, and the Icebreaker of the night was - as they billed it - Adult Bingo, so things like - Have you been on a nude beach, Do you have a piercing, etc. And the first 5 winners got a prize. It was less about the Icebreaker - which don't get me wrong, was a great way to make your way through the room, but it was more the overall beginning to end of the event. They have what they call the HH Host (or something like that title), who is your master of ceremonies, and they have floaters during the event whose job is to talk to everyone, and make the connections between people in the room. Reminded me back in the day during Rush - oh wait - I think the PC term is Recruitment. This event stood out to me 1) cause it wasn't a random match event which sold out in two seconds, but the people attending have nothing in common, 2) the event organizers really took the time to make sure everyone was having a good time. At one point, they did have shots around the room - I think. Overall - it was fun, and I'd go back to an event.

The restaurant seating area has some small tables and some stadium seating. I was sat at a small table with two other people I didn't know. The server came over to take our orders but wasn't particularly friendly. I ordered an Antidote mocktail - it has rose, hibiscus and grapefruit juice, plus a cheese board. When my drink arrived, it was opposite of the drink I described above. The drink was green for one, and tasted heavily of jalapeño, leading me to believe I was incorrectly given the Club Spice mocktail. I flagged over my server and told him I was given the wrong drink, and he proceeded to argue with me about it. I said this tastes like jalapeño and doesn't taste like the Antidote at all, there's nothing in here that indicates there is rose, hibiscus or grapefruit juice. He said "the antidote has spice in it too" which was not even accurate and "the bartender told him this was the Antidote." I repeated that this tasted like jalapeño. He finally agreed to switch out the drink, so I ordered some other mocktail that had ginger and turmeric (can't remember the name) but it was good. Took a while to come out however. It was super weird and off putting that he was arguing with me when I clearly know what I am tasting in the drink. Throughout the event, service was poor. Water wasn't refilled until 10 min before the event ended. The man sitting next to me ordered a drink early in the evening that just never showed up, I felt really bad. The cheese board is overpriced at $27 for a handful of cheese, pickled veggies and a dollop of mustard the size of my thumb. The focaccia it came with was very good however. The server never came by to close out checks when the event ended so I had to track him down and make sure to close out. 3 stars for the aesthetic of the place, the friendly front desk staff and for some of the food and drink being ok. I wonder if the service here is any better during the day when there's just members in the space. I'd come back for another Lecture event but keep my expectations low for the service.
