About The Company
With an impressive 22-story neoclassical clubhouse and 11,000 members, The Yale Club of New York City is unquestionably the largest private club in the world. However, the minute you arrive at 50 Vanderbilt and enter the first-floor lobby, you’ll be struck by the warm, welcoming intimacy of the place. Within the club you will find a variety of different communities to which you belong. Not just your graduating class, but kindred spirits who have gone before, or have just arrived from New Haven. Friends from the squash court, a fitness class, or a literary event. Whether you’re coming to the city for a special event, or just stopping over on your way to some faraway place, consider the club your home away from home.
