Member Benefits

Greetings from The Cornell Club-New York!

Thank you for your interest in The Club. We hope the information in our site will give you a full idea of what we have to offer. At 6 East 44th Street, New York, NY 10017, Club Members may:

Members may also take advantage of facilities in our reciprocal clubs, located both domestically and abroad. The Club was founded to provide Members, their friends, and associates with a forum for rekindling old friendships, forging new ones, further extend the Cornell Alumni network, and to offer Members a fine facility with excellent hospitality for enjoying meals or retreating from the busy bustle of New York City.

The Cornell Club-New York provides its Members with all of these things and much, much more. If you have any questions or would like a tour of The Club and its facilities, please call us at 212.986.0300.

The Andrew Dickson White Library

The Club’s Library, named for Cornell University’s first President, is a restful sanctum that invites you to lean back and tune out the busy world outside. Newspapers, magazines, and business periodicals are available as well as books of fiction, non-fiction, and reference (many by Cornell authors) and Cornelliana. Writing tables and overstuffed leather armchairs complement the tranquil setting.
