The best party venues to rent in New York

La Grande Boucherie provides an ornate oasis in the concrete jungle. This New York private party space, accommodating nearly 600 guests, showcases Art Nouveau style and Parisian flair through the restaurant's tile and furnishings.

The North Room is on the main floor and seats 140, and larger parties can close off the space from the rest of the venue. On the same floor is the raw cocktail bar, which allows 15 guests cocktail-style and provides a front-row view of the master's shucking oysters.

Upstairs, the North Mezzanine, seating 60, overlooks the North Room and patio, and the intimate South Mezzanine, seating 25, overlooks the raw bar and the 150-year-old glass skylight.

For more excitement, choose the fully private Burgundy Room, seating 24 or standing 30. To get there, you must brace the intensity of clanging pots and pans, half expecting to see Chef Carmy from The Bear directing orders at his staff.

Steps away from the Prometheus Statue and the never-ending highrises of Midtown is 48 Lounge. This private party space offers semi-private and private corporate events and social celebration packages.

Opening toward the garden is the wooden “treehouse,” an add-on that can fit six people for a more intimate space, and Rose’s room, a private dining area for 12-15 guests.

We know it takes some convincing to get any New Yorker this close to Times Square, but the atmosphere and history of The Lamb's Club at The Chatwal are worth it. Built in 1905, the hotel's proximity to Broadway makes sense as it was home to the U.S.'s first theatrical society, The Lambs, which included everyone from John Wayne to Fred Astaire.

With impeccable interiors that look like something straight from a Wes Anderson movie, The Lamb's Club offers three very different event spaces. From the mid-century modern aesthetic of The Lamb's Club Bar to the regal, wood-paneled Stanford White Room, the venue itself will be a great conversation starter amongst your guests.

The event spaces can accommodate 50 to 100 guests.

Located in Chelsea's Flower District, ILA Penthouse -- known as the Institute of Living Arts -- is traditionally used as the space for FlowerSchool New York, but its elevated location and flexible space makes it an ideal party venue.

There are three main spaces at ILA: a 4,500 sq. ft. roof deck (max. 225) ideal for outdoor summer parties, a 1,200 sq. ft. bar room (max. 60) for cocktail hours and parties, and a 2,500 sq. ft. main dining room (max. 150 seated) for seated meal portions. You can book them altogether for a multi-part event, or book them individually based on the season and nature of the event. However, you'll know you're in good hands when it comes to decorations: they're flower-forward in their decor, and ensure sustainability in every step.
