The FAQ of Every 'Exclusive Social Club' in New York City
Hello, and thank you for your interest in Hudson Lounge, a new kind of exclusive members-only club in the heart of New York City.
What is Hudson Lounge?
Hudson Lounge is the social club reimagined. It is community, but with innovation. It is fellowship, but stylish. It is chicken wings, but $27.
Do you non-ironically use the words “hustle” or “grind”? This club is for you.
What makes Hudson Lounge different?
We have reinvented the social club from the ground up. Every aspect has been re-imagined: from decor, to cuisine, to how much a Stella Artois can cost.
If your idea of a good time is making small talk in the Dubai airport, then welcome home.
How is Hudson Lounge different from SoHo House?
Fewer Winkelvosses.
What kind of member is Hudson Lounge looking for?
We want New Yorkers who aren’t afraid to think outside of the box. We want artists, writers, poets, vagabonds, wild-eyed dreamers who arrived in this crazy city with nothing but the shoes on their feet and the change in their pockets.
Okay but seriously, what kind of member is Hudson Lounge looking for?
Startup bros with rich dads.
Will Hudson Lounge use the word “play” in a really weird, off-putting way?
Oh, absolutely. Because Hudson Lounge isn’t just a place to connect; it’s a place to play. New York City is one big playground, and baby, we want you to feel safe to play at Hudson Lounge. Goo goo gaga, come play at Hudson Lounge ;)
How much is a membership at Hudson Lounge?
We know that times are tough for prospective members right now, between rising gas prices and the IRS seizing the assets of Russian oligarchs. Rent in NYC is higher than ever, which means tough economic times for your parents.
To that end, we have temporarily dropped our annual fees to “an amount of money that would make any coal miner instantly hate you.”
Can I take loud phone calls about my startup when I’m at Hudson Lounge?
Buddy, it’s practically required.
What are the Hudson Lounge’s amenities?
We are proud to have outfitted the Hudson Lounge with everything you need to work, connect, and of course, play. Our clubhouse features a roof deck, a dining room named after Vincent van Gogh for some reason, a study lounge, a billiards lounge, a lounging lounge, and a world-class murder room.
Murder room?
Oops! Did we say “murder room”? We meant library.
Does Hudson Lounge have a swimming pool?
Yes! But please be aware that you will never be able to get a lawn chair because all of them will be completely taken up guys from Europe wearing jean shorts.
Who is behind Hudson Lounge?
Like all social clubs in New York, the Hudson Lounge is the brainchild of two guys named David. They’ve had a passion for real estate since they were 17, when they purchased an affordable housing complex, bulldozed it, and built a glass skyscraper that is now a completely empty WeWork.
After successfully turning several East Village grocery stores into Chase Banks, the two Davids decided to pursue their passion for hanging out with rich people in the form of Hudson Lounge. They are both dating someone born after 9/11.
Cryptocurrency?
Yes.
Okay! I talked to my parents and I am ready to apply for membership. Where do I sign up?
You can fill out our application online or, if you’re attractive, in person.

We look forward to seeing you at the Hudson Lounge soon! If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask any White guy in Manhattan wearing a vest and AirPods and he’ll be happy to tell you more.
