Venue Setting

501 Union is a space of subtle distinction and quiet refinement. Erected in 1916, the building served in the restoration of classic cars through the glory years of the American automotive industry. It was brought back to life in 2013 by Akiva Reich & Co. Embedded in the stone and steel of this quiet landmark is the timeless integrity of a continually modern New York.
