The Lotos Club

Terrific food. Very pleasant. Private club.

Probably the least pretentious of the NY private clubs, with great history, intimate spaces, attentive staff, and good food.

The Lotos Club, one of the oldest literary clubs in the United States, was founded on March 15, 1870, by a group of young writers, journalists and critics.
Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain), an early member (1873), called Lotos "The Ace of Clubs."
Had you visited Lotos a century ago, you would have rubbed擦る shoulders with journalists, scholars, musicians, painters and sculptors, art collectors, historians, novelists and college presidents, just as you do today.
Decade after decade of Lotos history is filled with magnificent entertaining, sharp-witted oratory, grand food, concerts, art shows, evenings with presidents and mayors, literary roundtables and lavish State Dinners.
