The top private dining spaces to rent in TriBeCa

One thing about reality TV is that everything needs to be over the top, and Macao Trading Company fits the bill. Based on the brothels and opium dens of Macao in the 1930s the dark rooms with dim lighting and distressed wood create an intriguing atmosphere. The main dining room (max. 150) and the downstairs lounge (max. 60) are available for a full buyout of 210 guests for a cocktail-style reception.

Trading Hour offers libations like Portuguese wines and provisions like crispy calamari. The dinner menu includes mushroom & truffle croquettes, steamed mussels, and noodle dishes like Ants Climbing in a Tree. And while eating, sip on the Bashful Maiden or Crimson Dawn cocktails.

Throwing a celebrity's name on a product can be smart yet potentially deceiving – you can’t help but doubt that they actually came up with the idea themselves. One thing that feels more legit is famous chefs who own restaurants because, let’s face it, they actually know what they’re doing. Wolfgang Puck has CUT in the Four Seasons hotel in New York, a lavish location many reality TV stars would appreciate. You may even spot a few.

The private dining room seats 32 guests, the regular dining room seats 82, and the bar seats 32. You can try the Gulf shrimp cocktail, wild mushroom ravioli, or Australian or Japanese wagyu while drinking from the beverage menu, divided into categories like slow burn, barrel-aged, light and floral, and bold and boozy.

1803 brings the party found around the Mississippi River to NYC with Cajun-creole-inspired food. Have you ever tried Cajun escargot, catfish lettuce wraps, or gumbo? This is the place to expand your taste buds. If you’re not ready to explore, you can also order comfort food like Louisiana fried chicken.

There is nothing quite like comforting food and live music, and 1803 fulfills both of those requirements with live music every week from a range of artists. After hearing some songs, you can go downstairs to Bon Courage, their speakeasy bar, and try cocktails The Lava Rock, She's a Lady Too, or Campfire Tales.

This Tribeca private dining restaurant accommodates 150 guests for a private dining buyout.

The focal point of the main dining room (max. 350) is the old mahogany bar from the infamous Maxwell's Plum restaurant. The gallery accommodates 40 guests for a formal event, and The Loft can fit a formal dinner for 120, serving foods like salmon rillette, queso fundido, panzanella, and sauteed branzino. This Tribeca private dining venue has a Wine Spectator grand award-winning wine list, so try a glass from their rare collection.
