NORWOOD CLUB

 It's like being in a Parisian salon in the 1920's...plush velvet couches, drinks, music and surrounded by art and artists,curated by Rodrigo  Salomon and  Pamela Willoughby.  A photo of TWIGGY by Bert Stern, non stop portrait painting by BARNABY RUHE, a fourth floor art gallery showing DON PERLIS artist of the Times Square mural of George Floyd and more ..Artist and musician TATIANA LISOVSKAYA shows her paintings, and performed  and sang at the opening of Norwood.  In addition she wrote a piano score for Julian Schnabel's movie of VINCENT VAN GOGH
.Music is by Willard Morgan on 3 and during brunch in the garden you can hear  the Michael Arenella Trio  all at the private membership  NORWOOD CLUB  241 West 14 Street.   

This 1857 mansion is on the National Historic Register and the NYC Landmarks Commision.

The owner and chef, ALAN LINN says he wanted to create a new  club as his dream., uniting art and food.  He feels it is a "new era".  From London, he enlisted the Simon Costin, a friend of Steve McQueem who lent his talents to enhance his dream.  He hired 3 people from clubs studio 54, Limelight, and Mercer and had the plush velvet couches built by the upholsterers  of the Russian Room. He built it for curious folk from all creative disciplines to have them meet and clash. "It is a club  for "the curious",Once you go there, you don't want to leave. And don't forget to order his secret shrimp dish which  contains sugar, garlic and paprika - So divine! 

...its a bit of heaven in New York...
