Le Club

Last updated

Le Club was a members-only restaurant and nightclub located at 416 East 55th Street in Manhattan, New York City. French expatriate Olivier Coquelin founded Le Club in 1960. [1] [2]

It was a playground for New York's elites, including the Vanderbilts and Kennedys. [3] As a young man in the 1970s, Donald Trump frequented the club, particularly associating with Roy Cohn. [4] The club moved to 313 East 58th Street in 1981, [5] then to the Waldorf Astoria New York in 1996. [6]
