Here's a closer look at New York’s newest eateries, drinking spots, hotels, conference areas, private rooms, and other spaces available for events this fall. The new and renovated New York venues are available for corporate parties, weddings, fundraisers, outdoor functions, business dinners, team-building activities, conferences, meetings, and more.

Boutique luxury hotel Faraway Sag Harbor opened on the Hamptons waterfront in June after a complete redesign of the historic Baron’s Cove. The hotel joins Blue Flag’s growing Faraway portfolio, which also includes properties in Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, and Jackson Hole. The 67-key hotel offers two primary options for groups. The Living Room & Patio (pictured) combines 12 lobby seats, eight bar seats, and 30 outdoor seats—or enough room for up to 60 standing guests. For larger gatherings, groups can take over Zagara, the on-site Amalfi Coast-inspired restaurant, for up to 79 seated or 100 standing. Zagara’s Mediterranean atmosphere is striking, with high-vaulted ceilings, New England-style windows, and an orchard of olive trees running through the center of the restaurant. A private dining room accommodates up to 25, while the terrace offers an alfresco option when the weather cooperates. And summer groups get a few extra options: an outdoor padel court or a custom raw bar available exclusively for warm-weather soirées. Event pricing starts at $4,000 and scales up to $4,000 depending on the to-do.

Crowne Plaza Manhattan Times Square

IHG added the Crowne Plaza Manhattan Times Square to its New York City portfolio in September, following a years-long transformation of the 1964 World’s Fair-era landmark it occupies. The 22-story, 685-room property is now an American flagship for Crowne Plaza, the IHG brand headquartered in England. Its event offerings are more boutique than ballroom-size: The Studio (pictured) offers a 200-square-foot boardroom-style setup, while the all-day dining destination Fifty-First Street Social can be bought out for groups of up to 135. The penthouse Broadway Suite on the 22nd floor offers a 1,000-square-foot terrace overlooking the city. Up to eight guests can gather across the suite’s living and dining areas or spill out onto the terrace, making it a natural fit for smaller executive gatherings or private events. Event pricing for each of the spaces starts at $5,000.

The Algonquin Hotel Times Square, Autograph Collection might be New York’s oldest-operating hotel, but its latest chapter looks decidedly fresh. As the property gears up to celebrate its 125th anniversary next year, it unveiled a property-wide renovation in August that gave all 181 guest rooms—and its event spaces—a refresh. The hotel offers 4,372 square feet of event space, with options that scale from a 12-person board meeting to a 200-person reception. The largest is the 3,591-square-foot Round Table Lounge, while the 1,650-square-foot Oak Room handles up to 140 and can be divided into two spaces for smaller gatherings. The 655-square-foot Barrymore Suite is designed for groups of up to 25, and for the smallest gatherings, the second-floor Helen Hayes Room (pictured) and Library Boardroom each measure just 209 square feet for up to 12 in conference-style setups. And then there’s the Blue Bar Restaurant & Lounge, famed for its storied post-Prohibition past, deep Broadway ties, and blue-lit ambiance.

Resorts World Catskills

Resorts World Catskills is adding another option to its already sizable events arsenal. The resort opened in 2018 as a 332-key main tower and an adjacent, 105-room boutique hotel called The Adler. In September, it unveiled a brand-new ballroom, adding 5,700 square feet of event space to its existing 48,000-square-foot inventory. The new space joins a lineup that runs the gamut from massive to decidedly unconventional. The property’s centerpiece, the Epicenter, spans 26,250 square feet and can accommodate up to 2,500 guests, with the flexibility to divide the space into eight distinct configurations. For smaller gatherings, meeting rooms ranging from 600 to 900 square feet can be combined to create 4,922 square feet of contiguous space. Groups can also take their gatherings outside with a 15,000-square-foot backyard setup, to the 1,473-square-foot Butterfly Beach Bar, indoor and outdoor patios, or the Clubhouse Deck at the on-site Monster Golf Course.

Hilton Garden Inn New York/Manhattan-Midtown East

The Hilton Garden Inn New York/Manhattan-Midtown East quietly completed a property-wide renovation in April, but waited until September to pull back the curtain on the new look. The 207-key Midtown hotel has essentially reworked itself around the modern business traveler. Among the biggest changes are 14 new convertible room types, which incorporate wall beds to create greater separation between sleeping and working areas. For those who need a more traditional office setup, new Workspace Rooms function as private offices with meeting space for groups of up to four. Downstairs, The Back Room takes the business-meets-social concept a step further. The 1,362-square-foot, all-day social hub is available for buyouts of 60 and is designed less like a conventional meeting room and more like a place to team build. There’s a bar, pool table, arcade games, and a mix of seating configurations that can support everything from focused work to team building. The space also leans into its Manhattan setting with a commissioned Speakeasy Subway art installation depicting a vintage underground party aboard a New York City subway. For more traditional dining, groups can partially buy out the restaurant side of The Back Room for seated meals with up to 35 guests.

The Livingston – JdV by Hyatt

The Livingston – JdV by Hyatt planted roots in downtown Brooklyn in February, becoming the borough’s first Hyatt-branded hotel after the company built up a portfolio of more than a dozen properties in Manhattan. The 22-story, 104-room hotel’s sole venue option is The Grove Lantern, a 1,100-square-foot, ground-floor restaurant that can accommodate up to 45 guests and doubles as a meeting space starting at $250 per hour (other event formats are available by inquiry). The all-day eatery was designed to channel Brooklyn’s creative spirit, with artisan breads and pastries from neighborhood favorite Bien Cuit, along with Brooklyn-made coffee, teas, and beers.

Loew’s Jersey Theater

Through the Holland Tunnel and less than five miles from Manhattan is a 1920s movie palace getting a second act. Loew’s Jersey Theater is set to reopen in November after decades of closure and a two-year, $130 million renovation in the heart of Jersey City’s Journal Square Plaza. The 100,000-square-foot theater occupies a historic Baroque building originally constructed as a grand movie palace. Now restored for a new generation of performances and events, the venue can accommodate between 2,600 and 4,000 guests depending on the format. Experiential design and production firm Off the Record Collective led the new design, balancing modern event functionality with the theater’s old-school glamour (think: red-velvet carpeting, gold accents, and a dramatic chandelier centerpiece) in a renovation reviewed by the Jersey City Historic Preservation Commission, the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, and the National Park Service.

Jaywalker

New York Distilling Co. is giving groups a new reason to head to Bushwick. The Brooklyn distiller opened Jaywalker in June, a 3,000-square-foot cocktail bar and event space inspired by the company’s Jaywalk Rye whiskey and designed to channel the feel of a New York City artist’s loft. The aesthetic leans industrial, but with plenty of personality thanks to oversize artwork and trailing greenery. In all, Jaywalker can accommodate up to 370 guests with adaptable layouts available upon request. For groups large or small, team-building add-ons like guided whiskey tastings and hands-on blending sessions turn a buttoned-up happy hour into something a little more interactive. Pours can be paired with food from nearby Chinese restaurant Kings Co Imperial.

Motek

Motek is bringing a little Miami sunshine to Midtown. The vibrant Mediterranean restaurant, which first opened in Miami, then made its Big Apple debut in 2025, opened a new 6,700-square-foot flagship on 57th Street in September, adding a bright pop of yellow to the concrete jungle. The new location is built with buzzy gatherings in mind. Full buyouts can accommodate up to 275 diners, while a private dining room downstairs seats up to 120. The expansive menu takes a similarly broad approach, spanning mezze, skewers, kebabs, street food, a raw bar, and steakhouse offerings. Inquire within for pricing.
