Membership Benefits
Members love the Harvard Club of New York.
And for many good reasons…
The Harvard Club of New York City is your connection to Harvard! Members hail from all University disciplines and across many generations. Located in midtown Manhattan, the landmark Clubhouse building is the hub for business, dining, athletics, and an array of programming and events ranging from lectures and concerts to networking and social events. Additionally we offer virtual events and programming, including webinars, podcasts, fitness, cooking & art classes, and member meetups.
The Place to Network
Sure, everyone networks, but not everyone can network with the largest group of Harvard grads in the world. (Well, outside Cambridge.) HCNY is the perfect place to meet great alums you don’t know… yet. All in one of the most beautiful settings in New York. Why not take advantage of this exclusive and most valuable resource?
Reconnect with Old Friends
Remember all the interesting people you met on campus? New York is a great place to meet up with old friends, and the charming HCNY is one of the finest places to meet in New York. Facebook is fine, but nothing can take the place of meeting an old buddy over a cup of hot coffee in a thoroughly Harvard setting.
Very Special Interest Groups
Need to brush up on your French? Looking for a game of poker? Finished the Illiad but not the Odyssey? With over 50 groups, it’s easy to connect with other members who share your personal and professional interests. Groups include Lawyers Group, French over Lunch, Poker Group and Homer & the Classics.
Full Service Gym
A great value – without the long-term commitment – our gym offers personal training, massage services and plenty of classes, including a squash program (at all levels).
Notable Speakers and Events
