Although it is now widely known that the City Tavern Club closed on August 31st, the Preservation Foundation is still doing its part to ensure that the transition to the next chapter in the building’s life is a smooth one. We have been quiet lately as the negotiations are ongoing, but we will keep everyone in the loop as more information becomes available.

In May of 2024 a group of high schoolers on their senior trip to the city changed from tour clothes to business casual to enjoy a meal in a setting unlike any had experienced before.
Help save this space. This is history’s space, the city’s space, and most importantly, everyone’s space.
