Located on the 68th floor of 4 World Trade, WTC360 Riviera at the World Trade is a 34,000-square-foot private event space operated by Riviera Caterers. Offering a blank slate for event planners, the column-free space offers amenities such as 10-foot windows with sprawling views of lower Manhattan and the Hudson River, an in-house power source for audiovisual and lighting needs, and multiple high-speed elevators. Riviera is the in-house event producer and caterer at the venue, which opened in early December. It holds 440 for reception-style events.
Howl at the Moon, the chain of live music bars, opened its 17th location in the theater district. The vibe is upbeat and fun, and entertainers are available to set the scene, from light dinner music to a full band playing contemporary hit music. The venue spans both a main floor and mezzanine, and both levels can be used for private events, or the entire venue can be bought out for receptions of as many as 600 people or plated dinners for 400. The main floor holds 400 for cocktails or seats 200 for dinner. The space can be broken into two for smaller events. The mezzanine, with views of the stage and dance floor, holds 200 for cocktails or 150 for buffet dinners.
