The Dickens Room seats 85, the Lounge and Grill up to 60, the Primary Dining Room 140, or you can hire out the whole area to hit that limit of 350. (http://www.delmonicosny.com /)

The Foundry

If you consider yourself edgy, try the Foundry. As its name recommends, it was once a factory that specialised in softening down and casting metals into molds. This unique structure brings out the wonderful thing about the Business Era. At 2,000 sq. feet, the interior can hold 125, but they have an equally inspiring yard and terrace that will seat couple of hundred more under gorgeous archways.
