“Went with my mom and her friends to celebrate her birthday we had an amazing time !!! Jennifer and atahya were very alert and on demand we would definitely go back”
“We’ve hosted multiple events at Rockleigh and consistently had a great experience. The venue is elegant, well maintained, and ideal for luxury weddings and special events. The staff is professional and organized, ensuring every event runs smoothly. @bukharagrillcaterers”
“This theatre takes you back into time with its preservation! The Christmas Show featuring the Rockettes was superbly executed keeping the audience attentive and captivated through the show! A must see when in NYC during the holiday season.”
“Choosing The Estate at Florentine Gardens for our wedding in November was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant, warm, and incredibly well thought out — but what truly made our experience unforgettable was the exceptional staff.
Every single person we worked with was perfectly accommodating, professional, and genuinely kind, making us feel completely supported throughout the entire day. Our wedding attendant, Monica, deserves the highest praise and biggest shout out— she was attentive, thoughtful, and always one step ahead of my needs (especially with the many outfit changes). Without her, I don't know what I would've done. My husband and I were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment without worrying about a single detail.
Our wedding coordinator, Samantha, was absolutely amazing throughout the planning process. She was organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful, guiding us with care and expertise every step of the way. Having her support made the entire experience feel seamless and stress-free.
And the cocktail hour food...omg truly the best ever. It was abundant, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. We still hear our guests raving about it and telling us it was the best cocktail hour they’ve ever experienced at a wedding.
The grounds were stunning, the flow of the evening was flawless, and every detail was executed with such precision and heart. It genuinely felt like the entire team at Florentine Gardens was invested in making our wedding perfect — and they absolutely succeeded.
If you are looking for a venue that delivers timeless elegance, unmatched service, and an unforgettable guest experience, The Estate at Florentine Gardens is the one. We would choose it again without hesitation.
Highly, highly recommend ?

“We had my wife's surprise 70th birthday party at the Park West Loft last weekend and it was a fantastic night thanks to Chris and his staff. The food and service was great and Chris was meticulous about planning the event, yet extremely easy to work with. He made sure everything went smoothly, including surprising my wife, which went off with out a hitch. The venue itself is wonderful, with a NYC vibe, and is well designed for a party.
I would recommend Chris, his staff and the Park West Loft without reservation.”
“I've taken several lessons with Hugh Heo. He has worked with me to relearn how to swing from the ground up. There has been a very noticeable improvement to my ability to play well and consistently after practicing what he has been teaching. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get better.”
“Yesterday I used the Workville Space for a team meeting with 10 people. It is a fantastic office space! The customer service is exceptional! Booking via email was super easy with a live person able to answer all questions. Once we arrived the reception administrator was super helpful and helped me set up my equipment. He was available throughout my meeting to help with any needs or questions. The space was clean, bright, professional and perfect for our needs. I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend Workville!”
“We hosted my daughter’s 4th birthday here and the team was exceptional. They were kind, patient and so thoughtful with the girls. Every detail was perfect. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – A must-do New York experience
The Museum of the City of New York is an absolute gem. We loved every minute — it’s engaging, well curated and brings the story of New York to life in such an interesting and accessible way.The exhibits are informative without being overwhelming, and you walk away with a much deeper understanding of the city, its people and how it became what it is today.
If you’re visiting NYC, this should be on your list. A genuine must-do and a brilliant way to connect with the city beyond the usual tourist spots.”
“As a wedding photographer, I've worked at A LOT of venues. I've had the pleasure of working at Seasons a few times now and I must say the staff is not only helpful to me, but they go out of their way for the couples. And the food is VERY good. Highly recommend @caseyfphoto”
“My girlfriend and I attended the Valentine's Day Concert last night and it was a WONDERFUL event. The selection of music was wonderful and the musicians were amazing....”
“John, the manager, made my experience phenomenal. I'm an avid bowler who brought some out of town friends, he made our experience the best !! I recommend this place 100 percent. Ask for JOHN!”
“As a wedding photographer, I always appreciate venues that offer both incredible views and a seamless experience—and Tribeca Rooftop + 360° does exactly that. The rooftop provides one of the best panoramic views of NYC, making it a stunning backdrop for portraits, especially around sunset. Indoors, the modern, open space can be transformed to fit any couple’s vision, whether they’re going for something classic, romantic, or contemporary.
Beyond the aesthetics, the team here is fantastic. They’re organized, professional, and make sure everything flows smoothly, which makes a huge difference in how stress-free and enjoyable the day feels for couples (and their vendors!).
If you’re looking for a wedding venue with an unbeatable cityscape, great lighting, and a team that truly knows how to run an event, Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is always a great choice.”
“We have not been able to stop raving about Riverview and about our experience there. I can’t say enough good things about The Riverview. The team made sure our event was more than we could have ever imagined and asked for. I must have called over 50 venues before choosing this one, and not a single place came close to the level of professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that Stefania and Arthur showed us. My mother, who owned a party planning business for years, even said she’s never seen a venue handle things this smoothly and thoughtfully.
From the very beginning, they went above and beyond. They thought through every tiny detail - things I wouldn’t have even known to ask about. They were incredibly responsive, even on weekends, after hours, and late at night and always made us feel like we were their top priority. Because we live far from the venue, Stefania not only arranged a virtual walkthrough for us, she then actually went through the space herself, gathered photos of each area, and sent them to us with descriptive details so we could decide which rooms we wanted to use for specific parts of the wedding. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible. They were on-top of scheduling multiple meetings to make sure our whole event was perfect and exactly the way we wanted it to be.
They offered so many thoughtful touches - like including a beautiful bench option for under the bedeckin and even a chuppah - and packed so much into the package that most venues would charge extra for. They kept in constant communication, checked in regularly, and scheduled multiple meetings to ensure we felt completely ready.
The day of the wedding, everything was flawless. My father is handicapped, and they took the time to sit down with us beforehand to plan everything out carefully - even measuring the aisle to make sure it was comfortable for him. That level of care meant the world to us.
The venue itself is absolutely STUNNING - it is so regal, elegant, and well-designed. Our photos came out gorgeous. Friends of ours are still talking about the gorgeous venue and how beautiful all the pictures came out. What stood out most was the team's honesty and transparency; nothing was hidden or last-minute. They even helped us make decisions that a typical venue would never get involved in, essentially stepping in like our own event planners when we didn’t have one.
I can honestly say I’ve never felt more taken care of by a company. One guest actually told me during the wedding, “I’ve never seen a more relaxed bride,” and that’s 100% thanks to Stefania and Arthur at the Riverview team. Their coordination, communication, and genuine care made our entire experience with them unforgettable. Truly blown away by Riverview and could not recommend them enough!!”

“Comfortable seats with amazing leg room. The theater kind of needs a little tlc but clean.
*****Call Me Izzy - Excellent show and story. Leaves you thinking at the end. I was Johanna Day and she was wonderful.”
“Nestled in tranquility, Housing works bookstore invites you to savor a book over a steaming cup of coffee. The impeccable service, though unobtrusive, adds to the charm. While the book collection isn’t extensive, it remains a delightful haven for leisurely moments.”
“My FAVORITE live venue. The sound and view is great all around. I've seen Chemical Brothers, Duran Duran, CAKE, Robert Plant, Culture Club, B-52s, Cat Powers, Future Island, Morrissey (and he did not cancel, which is rare), and more. Really wanted to see Pulp live last year, but it was bad timing on my part. So many good memories here. It's pretty historic too. The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix played here.
Anyway, don't listen to the cranky neighbors, it's not *that* loud. I've been to other venues that you can't even hear yourself think. Forest Hills stadium has been consistently respectful of the local residents. They really do try. I wished I lived in the area, I could just walk to the venue! Otherwise I'd leave the windows open just to hear the concert.
Anway, the food court is amazing. Very ADA accessible. To me, it's the perfect place to see a concert. The only downside is the curfew, but it is what it is.”
“It is a place full of magic and history. Alanis Designer had the privilege of being present with her Quinceañera dresses in a photo session. It is a beautiful place.
Beautiful full of magic, impressive architecture, without a doubt one of the best places in New York”
“I absolutely love love love The Little Gym. We were looking for something new to put our daughter in that she would actually enjoy. She is always talking about how much she loves her gymnastics class and her coaches, especially Coach Kayla. Coach Val, Coach Kayla and Coach Sophia are the best!!! My favorite thing about the classes is how they have different themes and switch it up all the time to help keep her engaged and excited week after week. Highly recommend!”
“I attended JFRE event last month or another name is Japanese Food & Restaurant Expo. It was super nice to see tons of vender and restaurant owner. It is a good opportunity to get contract and explore more high quality or get a good deal for your business if you are in this industry. The convention has separate section between food, drink and equipment. It was less people in the morning but super packed in the afternoon.”
“The Pixel Lab was super nostalgic! From the front, it looks tiny but they offer a lot. There were a bunch of classic video and arcade games and I love that it's only $25 for a game pass or pay per hour. The day pass includes unlimited all you can drink fountain sodas and seltzers too so you'll never go thirsty here. You can also bring your own bottle and/or food and watch movies they play on a projector on the back wall. My boyfriend and I had a great time here, especially playing classic games on the Nintendo. Highly recommend for a fun night out!”
“Excellent customer service and overall experience from the second our cab pulled up! The room was perfectly clean, including the bathroom and kitchen. Bed was very comfortable. Breakfast room service is exceptional, dinner, not so much. At least what we ordered for dinner wasn't good. It was the fettuccine and suppose to be a white wine sauce if I remember correctly. The pasta tasted microwaved, and there was hardly any sauce. A better bet would be to go to the Italian restaurant downstairs for dinner, and the restaurant upstairs (where room service is from) for breakfast. We LOVED our French toast, potatoes and peppers, sausage, and berries. So so good. We ordered pastries the next morning and those were really good too. Housekeeping did a phenomenal job as well! We will be back :-)”
“I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party at Halo Lounge, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and exceeded all expectations.
Sal, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with—very responsive, friendly, truly accommodating, and so easy to work with. From our first meeting, he walked me through every detail, making the planning process effortless. He stayed in touch throughout, answered all my questions, and ensured everything was set up exactly as I envisioned.
The venue itself is next-level! It has a cool nightclub vibe (can easily transform the space to fit your event type), with a state-of-the-art sound system, an incredible light show, and a massive 32-foot bar that was a huge hit with our guests. The flexible seating and table setups let us customize the space exactly how we desired. Super easy parking.
What really sets Halo apart is how much they offer to simplify event planning. We booked their Starlite DJ, and he was phenomenal—playing all our favorite songs while seamlessly mixing in his own picks to match the crowd’s energy. He kept the vibe high all night and was amazing on the mic! They also offer catering services, backdrops, photo booths, décor add-ons, and much more, making the entire process so much easier!
And let’s talk about the Halo team—absolutely amazing! Our two bartenders were pros, serving up fantastic drinks and handling our crowd of 60 effortlessly. Huge shoutout to Julio—the true MVP of the night! From setup to the very end, he made sure everything ran smoothly, handled any requests with patience and a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to help. Julio, you are the best!
My husband had an unforgettable night, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun the party was and how unique the venue is. If you’re looking for the perfect place to host an incredible event, Halo Lounge is the place! We will definitely be hosting future events at Halo and recommending it to our friends and family. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Sal! ?”
“Midtown loft was great to work with the whole time! My wedding came out amazing. They were very responsive to anything we needed the whole year we were planning with them. Could not recommend this venue enough!”
“We arrived right at 5 pm when they opened and were seated straight away. It's sad that they're closing their N9 location, but the new place looks stunning. It's great that they have event space in the back so it doesn't shut down for weddings.The service was really attentive, although you could tell they're still getting used to things. We tried the Chef's whim, which they made vegetarian for us. The portions are good for sharing between 2-4 people. The blue cheese was tasty, but the veggies didn't impress much. The pear was a nice surprise for dessert. It was disappointing they don't serve Brussels sprouts anymore, but I'll try more of their dishes next time.The wine selection is good. I had the bubbly and the Riesling. The bubbly wasn't my favorite, but the Riesling was decent, not too sweet. I also tried the Pinot noir and enjoyed it the most.Overall, it's a great place for meeting friends or a date night. It's best to make a reservation unless you want to try your luck early on.”
“I had a celebration of life memorial here for my dad. The space was accommodating for our needs. The staff was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I also liked that we had lots of flexibility and time with setting up and cleaning after the event. We had the space for practically an entire day. My only issue is that it took a few days to get my deposit money back. I took off one star away for that. The staff was friendly still. They apologized and fixed the issue. Other than that, it was a good experience. I’d recommend it.”
“Instructors for kids programs are excellent. 4 yo has been really enjoying going to class for the last year and looks forward to class every week. Skills progressing rapidly. Highly recommend”
“This venue was the perfect space for our baby shower. Vito was very responsive and reliable . The venue was affordable and very cozy . With a good decorator the place looks like a fancy party hall with a price that no one can beat. Thank you for letting us host.”
