New York City is rightly known as the “City that Never Sleeps.” High-quality nightlife abounds in this vibrant metropolis, and visitors and residents alike are never lacking for interesting activities, events, and entertainment.

Among the city’s robust networking scene are several private clubs, where individuals can socialize with others who share their interests. When traveling to New York City via XO’s private jet solutions, take time to seek out and enjoy these top-notch NYC private clubs:

The highly-rated Knickerbocker Club, known informally as The Knick, is a luxury hotel in Times Square situated in a legendary New York landmark.

3. The Metropolitan Club

The Metropolitan Club New York is a swanky establishment that’s been operating since 1891.
