You can have a private dinner for 2 atop One WTC — here’s how much an ‘evening on top of the world’ costs
The most elevated dining experience in New York City has arrived: It will cost you $3,000 and is 1,250 feet in the sky.
The private event space at One World Observatory is now available to book for a dinner for two, giving an opportunity for a romantic dinner with 360-degree views of NYC from the 102nd floor of the One World Trade Center.
“We want everyone to have the opportunity to experience an evening on top of the world,” Amber King, senior director of special events at One World Observatory, told Food & Wine.
Aspire has historically been utilized for weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, and corporate events.
Now, for a starting price of $3,000, the 9,000-square-foot room with floor-to-ceiling windows can be reserved for just you and a plus one.
“We offer a private escort to your experience, a curated playlist, a private culinary team and waitstaff, along with a bottle of Dom Pérignon and a pre-selected four-course meal of your choice with wine service,” King shared.
“The venue will be adorned with red rose petals and an array of pillar candles to set the tone for a memorable evening.”
If patrons want to raise the bar even more, Aspire offers add-on services for an additional fee.
“Up-lighting, extensive florals, a string quartet, personal photographer, upgraded bar service, a live singer/band, additional guests, a private tour guide, the list goes on,” King said. “All these elements are available for an upgraded rate, but can be completely managed and arranged by the events team.”
According to Food & Wine, the private dining experience has just one table in the center of the large event space, and the meal is “personally designed and prepared” by Chef Reuel Vincent, who leads the kitchen at One Dine.
“My focus on New American cuisine takes inspiration from my Caribbean background as well as the influence of NYC being a melting pot of all cultures,” Chef Vincent told the outlet.
“The emphasis on the varying flavors of NYC’s culinary scene is meant to complement the overall experience. Not only will guests experience the sights of the city from the highest point, but they’ll be able to taste and discover the flavors that make New York a true culinary wonder.”
Aspire isn’t meant for a spontaneous date night, but more so for something special and meaningful, such as proposals, anniversaries, and engagements. You can plan for a romantic occasion with views of Midtown, Downtown Manhattan, The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Liberty Island, Governor’s Island, New Jersey, Staten Island and Brooklyn.
The private dining experience at Aspire launched this week and is now booking through Labor Day. After Labor Day, the event space will be booked one month out.
