Le District is a French restaurant and marketplace in Brookfield Place, Lower Manhattan, with event spaces for corporate dinners, receptions and galas from 35 up to 500 guests. The address is 22 Liberty Street, New York, NY 10281. Several rooms can be booked separately, which lets an organiser match the space to the size of the group.
Seminars and company events
For business use, the Jardin is the largest option. It holds 500 guests and has natural daylight, a view of the Hudson sunset and evening lighting. The venue lists complimentary WiFi, a coffee bar and conferencing areas for business events in this space. The Garden Room inside the Jardin seats up to 150 or holds 500 standing, which suits company parties, reunions and galas.
Smaller groups have other choices. The Bar takes up to 170 guests for a corporate reception. The Bistro, a brasserie-style room, holds 90 seated or 150 standing for a team dinner. The Private Dining Room holds 32 seated or 50 standing, has an open kitchen and a private patio in warm months, and fits a client dinner. Café Gourmand, in the entry area, takes up to 35 guests.
Weddings and receptions
The site focuses on corporate and social events such as birthdays, reunions and galas rather than weddings, so ask the events manager before planning a ceremony. For receptions and cocktail parties, the Terrace takes up to 500 guests when used in full and can be divided into smaller sections.
Rooms and capacities
The venue lists nine spaces in all. Besides those above, The Grand Bar sits within the Jardin and serves spirits and cocktails, and The Rotisserie is an intimate room in the former Rotisserie section of the market. No capacity is published for these two. The site also mentions a Liberty Bistro event space and a Market event space without detail. The venue does not publish theatre or boardroom layouts or AV equipment, so raise those needs in your request.
Catering
Le District is a restaurant first. Its market includes a boulangerie, a pâtisserie, a crêperie and a salad bar, and the Bar and Bistro serve French cuisine and cocktails. The site has a catering page, but menus and formats for events are not described publicly, so confirm them with the events manager.
History and setting
The venue sits inside Brookfield Place on the Hudson side of Lower Manhattan, with the Jardin and Terrace facing the river. It describes itself as bringing a little of Paris to downtown, which shapes the French menus and decor.
Getting there
The site gives only the street address. Brookfield Place is in the Financial District, close to several subway lines and the Hudson waterfront, and the events manager can advise on arrival and loading.
