A longstanding Manhattan landmark, Stand Up NY opened its doors in 1986 and has kept them open ever since. Stand Up NY is the city’s premiere destination for urbanites looking to have a good laugh. Some of America’s most beloved jokers – think Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Louis CK – are regulars that have graced the stage of what New York Magazine calls the “incubator of stand-up nobility.” Tucked into a residential block of 78th Street on the Upper West Side, it is a classic reborn by renovation. Purchased in 2008 by entrepreneurs and best-buddies Gabriel Waldman and Dani Zoldan, Stand Up NY is no longer just a dimly-lit comedy club, it's also a great event space. Boasting a sleek and modern design (the brainchild of famed nightclub impresario Steve Lewis and Marc Dizon – the guys behind Marquee, Butter and Hudson Terrace) and fired-up versions of everyone's favorite bar snacks, Stand Up NY has distinguished themselves from their competitors. With a showroom that accommodates over 125 guests, you'll have room to burst into hysterics without knocking over your neighbor's scotch. Stand Up NY features some of the brightest young talent in the business as well as bigger names returning to the city that gave them their start. Follow us on Twitter & Instagram: @StandUpNY
The Dakota is a cooperative apartment building located on the northwest corner of 72nd Street and Central Park West in the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, United States. It was built in 1880–1884 and is considered to be one of Manhattan's most prestigious and exclusive cooperative residential buildings, with apartments generally selling for between $4 million and $30 million. The Dakota is famous as the home of former Beatle John Lennon from 1973 to his death outside the building in 1980.HistoryThe Dakota was constructed between October 25, 1880, and October 27, 1884. The architectural firm of Henry Janeway Hardenbergh was commissioned to create the design for Edward Clark, head of the Singer Sewing Machine Company. The firm also designed the Plaza Hotel.The Dakota was purportedly so named because at the time of construction, the Upper West Side was sparsely inhabited and considered as remote in relation to the inhabited area of Manhattan as the Dakota Territory was. However, the earliest recorded appearance of this account is in a 1933 newspaper interview with the Dakota's long-time manager, quoted in Christopher Gray's book New York Streetscapes: "Probably it was called 'Dakota' because it was so far west and so far north". According to Gray, it is more likely that the building was named the Dakota because of Clark's fondness for the names of the new western states and territories.
