Beauty & Essex · New York
The pawn-shop door to Tao Group's Lower East Side theater
Why we recommend Beauty & Essex in New York
When guests book a New York nightclub, beach club, or pool day through MyRSVP and ask where to open the night, Beauty & Essex on the Lower East Side is one of the names our team reaches for most. It is Tao Group theater in restaurant form: you walk in through a working pawn shop on Essex Street, and the room only reveals itself once you pass the register. For a group that wants dinner to feel like the first act rather than an errand before the club, this is a hard room to beat.
A note on how we work: outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP concentrates on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so treat this page as a concierge city guide - the room, the menu cues, the timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Many
Reserve a VIP table at Beauty & Essex through the MyRSVP concierge. Submit a request via the form on this page and a host will confirm bottle minimums, arrival timing and any large-group requests within hours. MyRSVP handles New York reservations with on-the-ground hosts who book the toughest rooms in the city.
