Why Wouldn't You Join?

In a previous life, I had the pleasure of immersing myself in the day-to-day life at The City Club of San Francisco - engaging with our interesting Members, planning events, working with a friendly and personable staff, enjoying vibrant and busy lunches, happy hours, etc - all things that I miss in my new life as a full-time mommy to a busy and very happy 10-month old.  But I'm fortunate to still be involved with The City Club and having some time away has given me a whole new perspective on the Club:  WHY WOULDN'T YOU JOIN?

I have a bit more time these days to explore what else is out there, club-wise in San Francisco, and I say this in the most objective of ways - The City Club is by far the BEST private Club in the City.  Starting with the staff - a group of consummate hospitality professionals who hail from all corners of the industry and who walk through those brass doors at 155 Sansome Street with the same goals in mind:  to make the Club that much better every day and to ensure that our Members feel like they are the most important people in the world (they are!).  They know names, they know preferences (window table?  stirred not shaken?  they know!), and most importantly, they care.  These days, good customer service seems to be rather obsolete, but at The City Club, personal service is the heart and soul of our business. 

Beyond this paramount personal service, I've yet to find another club in town that offers an array of amenities and programs to the Members than what The City Club offers.  Monthly speaker events with city notables?  Check.  Savings on private meeting rooms and events?  Check.  A delicious, healthy, and abundant lunch buffet daily?  Check.  A private Members-only bar with witty bartenders and top-shelf libations? Check.  Networking events every week?  Check.  A membership comprised of the city's top-tier professionals from all industries? Check.  Management who continues to invest in the Club to ensure its longevity and prosperity? Big check.  All of these reasons and many more lead me back to my original thought:  WHY WOULDN'T YOU JOIN?  

When it comes to joining, Corporate Memberships are the way to go. They are designed to allow several individuals from a company enjoy the benefits of Membership at The City Club at the most reasonable rate. All designees can entertain clients at their leisure at the Club, as well as customize their individual membership to best fit their needs (including fitness, golf, spa upgrades).  Larissa Lorian in Membership is as gracious and friendly as they come when greeting new and prospective Members so I encourage you to reach out to her if joining the Club is something you or someone you know may be considering.  There's nothing to lose and much to be gained...

Until next time, I know that The City Club has many more suprises in store, putting the exclamation point on being THE BEST PRIVATE CLUB in San Francisco!  Go see for yourself.

2011 has a nice ring to it!

Happy New Year! Thank you to all of the Members and Guests who hosted events with us in 2010. December was a joyous month. The Club looked amazing decorated for the holidays and we enjoyed several events including our Grand Holiday Celebration and a divine luncheon with Paula West. Photos from these events can be found on our Facebook page.

The New Year brings many special occasions from birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, annual galas, corporate celebrations and business meetings.It is customary around this time of the year that many couples are engaged and begin looking for that special venue to celebrate their union. We bring back after two successful years, The City Club 2nd Tuesday Wedding & Event Open houses.

The next open house will be Tuesday, February 8th from 5-7pm. We invite you to visit us and enjoy complimentary Champagne and Hors d’oeuvres. Our special featured partner for this show is none other than our very own Member, Natasha Miller from Entire Productions who will be providing live musical entertainment. We invite you to join us and ask about our preferred wedding pricing for 2011.

This month the Sales & Catering team is working with two very special organizations who have opened up their events to our Membership and guests.

Information about both events are below:

Tuesday, January 25, 2011 - 6:30pm

Exiles, Emigrants and Entrepreneurs: Archaeology of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania)

The island of Tasmania, long renowned for its unique geology, pristine landscapes, and delicious food and wine, is also home to five newly inscribed UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Join us at The City Club of San Francisco where Eleanor Conlin Casella will take us on a tour of Tasmania, including its archaeological sites and memorable landscapes, through an exploration of the history of the island and its founding as a penal colony. She will discuss the famous male convict sites incorporated within the recent World Heritage listing, and then turn towards some of the results of archaeological excavations she's directed at the Ross Female Factory - a Tasmanian prison site established for exiled British female felons and their dependent children. The sites she will discuss offer some of the best-kept records of convict history anywhere in the world. Followed by a reception featuring a Tasmanian wine and whiskey tasting.

Please contact jklahn@aia.bu.edu or 617.353.8709

Thursday, January 27, 2011

Havana Night - September 17, 2009


Last night’s very mellow Havana Night featured a wonderful Cigar Roller named Nestor Castillo, who spent the evening demonstrating his trade of rolling world-class cigars grown from Cuban seed tobacco. Nestor came to us through Oye Productions, and was recommended to us by member Irv Spivak (thank you Irv for all your great connections!)

We may be looking to spice up future Havana Nights with live music or casino tables – what do you think? Would a Monte Carlo theme be the perfect fit for our final Havana Night of the year? Or would you rather heat it up by adding Flamenco dancers or a salsa band to the mix? I did get feedback that meeting other members is a key factor in the continued success of these evenings – should we just keep it simple and step up our game in adding new faces to the mix? I would love to hear what you think – email me with your comments or suggestions for what you want to see at the Club.

Save the Date: Friday, November 20
Hasta la Proxima Vez!

Fillet-A-Fish and other Stories







Chef Michael Munoz, along with Chefs Danny Renteria and Luis Zepeda, put together a dynamic and interactive presentation for our members! After a brief overview on cutting techniques and knife sharpening, Chef pulled out three extremely fresh 15-pound salmons, and swiftly sliced, trimmed and boned the fish for members. Then it was time for everyone to don their gloves and aprons, and slice into the fish themselves!





Other stories...





Monday evening we were treated to the delightful and relaxing sounds of Paul Mehling, one of the top guitarists in the gypsy/swing style made famous by Django Rheinhardt. A number of members stopped by for a glass of wine, easy conversation, and the mellow sounds playing in the background. Many thanks to our member, Natasha Miller of Entire Productions for selecting a performer that exactly matches the tone and energy of the member's Bar. He would be perfect for weddings too!





Bacchus the Rascal...





will be updated next time! We are thrilled to be welcoming proprietor Jan Schrem and winemaker Shaun Richardson of Clos Pegase to the Club on Friday, August 21. We will be tasting a selection of estate and reserve wines paired with a lovely menu created by Chef Michael Munoz. Stay tuned - this sold-out event promises to be a convivial evening, with an amusing presentation of Bacchus the Rascal (The God of Wine throughout Art History).





See you at the Club!

Slice, Dice & Roll

This past Tuesday evening, City Club members were treated to some one-on-one time with our very own Executive Chef Michael & Executive Sous Chef Danny. All the elements came together, as we set up cutting boards, honing knife, and a sharpening stone, and (normally very shy) Chef Michael gave a brief presentation and demonstrated the how-to of sharpening kitchen knives. He also honed the edges, giving a nice smoothness to the blade and removing any nicks or roughness left after the running it on the sharpening stone. Dull knives make slicing, dicing and brunoise SO hard; a sharp knife makes all the difference!

Members also got to get their hand sticky! Chef had at the ready a whole sushi-making station. In pairs and on their own, members spread prepared sushi rice on nori, filled it with yummy julienned fruits & vegetables, tossed in fresh salmon or tuna to taste, and spread spicy aioli over everything – making personalized sushi to taste! Chefs Michael and Danny also gave hands-on instruction on how to press and roll sushi, and those sharp knives came in handy for slicing the rolls. My favorite part was that everyone had the opportunity to try everyone else’s handiwork, as members generously shared their creations with each other.

If you missed it, stay tuned for future mini-classes – this one only lasted an hour, but offered a full evening’s worth of fun! This event was complimentary for members and their guests - just one of the benefits of membership!

Chef’s Luis’s Secret Spicy Aioli Recipe

Blend in food processor:
Six Egg Yolks
2 whole eggs
Throw in:
¼ cup lemon juice
Salt & Pepper to taste
With the processor running, slowly pour in:
3 c extra virgin olive oil
Until thick aioli consistency
Add:
3 tbsp of Cajun seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, ground white pepper, red chili flakes)
1 tbsp of tabasco

Makes Approximately 2 quarts

Life is a Cabaret...and a Cabernet!






The excitement continues to build for The City Club’s first ever Cabaret evening!

On Friday, May 29th, the Club will transform into a beautiful, plush cabaret lounge with all the “bells and whistles” that will WOW even the most frequent Club visitor!

Here’s a sneak preview of how the night will unfold….
You’ll make your grand entrance to the affair as you’re greeted with bubbly and exquisite hors d’oeuvre, in true City Club fashion…followed by a classic cocktail as you mix and mingle with fellow Members and guests…let’s get this evening started!
At just the right time, you’ll move upstairs to the Main Dining Room and experience true culinary decadence as Chef Michael and his team unveil a special surf and turf menu, created just for this event! Perfectly paired wines will fill the glasses as you enjoy the sounds of the baby grand on center stage…
Moving from dinner – it’ll be SHOWTIME! And we’re all in for a treat with Steve Ross. Hailing all the way from New York City, Ross will deliver an intimate cabaret performance of the songs of Noël Coward for our entertainment and enjoyment. A truly classic evening and our first class Club – we can’t wait!

Because of the unique set up requirements for this show, seating will be limited and last minute reservations will be difficult, if not impossible, to accommodate. That being said, reserve your tickets today! City Club Members enjoy the exclusive price for $150 – such a steal for all that this evening includes: a cocktail hour featuring an open bar and hors d’oeuvres, a three-course dinner with wines, dessert, and ports, and a legendary cabaret performance.

Dust off that tuxedo and your most special dress and make it a night out! We promise you that it will be one of the most memorable City Club events to date!

“Mad About the Boy”

Friday, April 17th

Victoria and I are extremely excited about an upcoming Black-Tie gala coming up in May. Working in conjunction with the Museum of Performance & Design, we have put together an amazing evening for our members! The romance of the 20's and 30's will come alive with a cabaret performance of Noël Coward by the talented Steve Ross. At once comical, classic, and layered with music and wit, this style of entertainment so perfectly fits the City Club that we couldn't resist hosting this special event.

New to Noel Coward as a performer? The Museum of Performance and Design reminds us of his enduring legacy:

"Star Quality: I don't know what it is, but I've got it," said Noël Coward with his inimitable style, cigarette in hand and twinkle in his eye.

The Museum of Performance & Design is proud to celebrate this extraordinary figure in its new exhibition, Star Quality: The World of Noël Coward.

For many Coward is known purely as a playwright, creating such classics as Private Lives, Blithe Spirit, Hay Fever, and Design for Living, or as the composer of such timeless songs as "Mad About the Boy," "I'll See You Again," and "Mad Dogs and Englishmen." Star Quality is the first exhibition to show the full extent of his prodigious talents as a director of plays and movies, actor, cabaret artist, wartime patriot, painter, and patron of charitable causes, as well as his knack for celebrity and his gift for sustaining warm and enduring friendships.

For a small taste of what's to come, take a look at a short video – then get your tux pressed and set the date aside! And after the event, make sure to check in on the blog for a post-party wrap up.

When: Friday, May 29th

Take a look at our online calendar for all the pricing and timing!

I look forward to seeing you then!

Making the Connection...

Since we launched the City Club Network in late February, Members have responded very enthusiastically and positively to this new benefit of Membership – so we’re keeping this good thing we’ve got going in the right direction!



Every other Wednesday, Members and guests gather over breakfast and work their best networking mojo with a great group of people. Each session has brought new faces and new business to those who attend– just as we had hoped that this new program would do! The group started with about 10 people and has grown to over 30 at the last gathering. We like the direction that this is headed!

The City Club Network is graciously moderated by City Club Member HENRY EASON of Eason Communications and he’s offered this wonderful praise for how the program has worked for him:
“Many of us City Club members and prospects are seeing a great benefit from the leads-exchange breakfast group you created for us. I know of many leads that have been given, and I have a prospect whose business could cover my club dues and bar bills for some time to come. We appreciate the club pitching in during these difficult times to help your members stimulate trade.”


We’re always looking for ways that we are able to add Member benefits and the City Club Network has created quite a “buzz” around the Club, extending beyond just the bi-monthly gatherings to one-on-one lunch meetings and socializing in the Member’s Bar. Larissa Lorian, our exceptional Member Services Manager, has “linked” everyone together through the network’s very own LinkedIn group so that the connections extend even into the cyber world.

Great people making great connections…that’s what The City Club has always been about and we’re very proud of all that the City Club Network has provided for our Membership. Join us at our next gathering on Wednesday, April 22nd from 8:00-9:30AM and be a part of the Club next best thing going!

City Club Network meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month from 8:00-9:30AM. Complimentary for Members. Non-Members and Guests are welcome to attend - $20. RSVP with the Club!

Dennis M's Photography Showcsae!

What an exceptional evening! As wedding and special event planners at The City Club, we are so lucky to have the opportunity to plan some stunningly remarkable events for our clients and members alike. The Dennis M showcase however was a very special treat!

Together with Duncan Reyes, we had an opportunity to create a sophisticated yet funky look that The City Club hasn’t seen before. We completely recreated the 10th floor Café to look like a vintage Cuban night with an edgy South Beach twist! Our opportunity was to showcase Dennis M, an award-winning photographer who with Duncan assembled a great group of people to throw a great party in order to show off his breathtaking work, and of course – The City Club!

Hartmann Studios and Impact Lighting started off by bringing in fantastic led lighting that faded between crisp blues and aqua to warm romantic magenta and auburn tones. Hartmann brought in edgy white leather couches with bright lounge pillows, vintagy lamps. We brought sleek cocktail tables an chairs and set them with soft votive candles with sparkling crystals and ambient turquoise hues.

Amy Burke Designs threaded the look together and delighted the senses with her simple, elegant and lively floral designs. Her ultra modern pieces were so creative using different materials to hone in on the modern yet vintage twist we were looking to bring into the Cuban theme. They were so interesting you literally wanted to reach out and touch them.

To set the perfect backdrop Oye Productions brought in a sassy Cuban combo who filled The Club with their rich melodies. We literally felt as though we were on the set of The Buena Vista Social Club’s live recording! Once the music was in place our guests were really able to feel the amazing vibe The Club had brought together.

Our Executive Chef, Michael Munoz
put together an outstandingly rich menu with Cuban inspired cuisine! And, of course to top off the savory, Butterfly Cakes brought in decadent samples of silky chocolate cake! It was absolutely to-die-for!! So to die for, that Butterfly Cakes is coming back on February 10th for The City Club’s Second Tuesdays!

Times they are a'changing....



Ahhhh....a new year is here. With "change" on everyone's mind these days, I'm inclined to reflect on the many positive changes that I've seen at The City Club over my 6 year tenure - and what a wild ride it's been! I've had the pleasure of welcoming so many wonderful Members to the Club and we, as Managers, enjoy the unique challenge of keeping things exciting and interesting for them, all the while maintaining the consistent values of a Membership club. That being said, allow me to elaborate on the images of "change" as seen through the eyes of the Club Director:

- Sold out Dining Rooms! Gone are the days when you could shoot a canon through the dining room at lunch and no one would be harmed...these days it's a packed house! To say that we love that would be an understatement. We love greeting our Members by name. We love how much they love their Club and enjoy showing it off to their guests. And most importantly, we love that we can always find them an open table, even when it appears to be SRO. Service with a smile, always.

- Excellent cuisine! A packed house can only mean one thing - the food must be top notch! As Chef Michael Munoz will tell you, when he came on board just about 5 years ago, he was determined to eliminate the stigma that "private Clubs serve bad food." And boy, did he do something right! We constantly receive praise for his outstanding creations, from the variety of the Cafe Buffet to the delicacies offered on the A la Carte menu - we've got one heck of a talented Chef and we're proud that he's all ours.

- Events! Not to brag too much, but we've been told a time or two that we throw a good party. In the last few years, thanks to the event suggestions from our Members and the creative geniuses that comprise our management team, we've taken events to whole new level. A boxing ring in the middle of the Cafe? No problem. Casablanca-style hookah lounge? Check. Havana Nights in January? We can't wait. Members not only enjoy the social nature of these events, but also the opportunity to network and entertain guests, for business or pleasure. On the business side of events, our Jamison Roundtable Luncheon series continues to gain momentum, thanks to the diligence and commitment of David Jamison, one of the Club's Founding Members. Excellent speakers and timely topics - thanks David!

- A true Art Deco treasure! Walking into The City Club for the first time is truly a magical moment. The looks of "awe" that we see when someone admires the Diego Rivera mural brings a smile to our face, every time. Our Club is a true gem and those of us who get to experience such elegance and splendor everyday are among the more fortunate ~ yet another reason our Members love calling this "their Club." The unparalleled decor and history of The City Club have been well preserved in the past few years, thanks in no small part to the commitment of the Owner to continually invest back into the Club, ensuring that we're always looking our best. It's amazing how much a gem can really shine with a little love and genuine care...and the capital for restorations here and there certainly helps! We're thankful for all of that.

Our Members are the heart and soul of The City Club ~ our most loyal fans and greatest assets for whom we have the great pleasure of welcoming everyday. As we look ahead to this year of "change," may we stay focused on making strides in a positive direction and continue to look at ways that we can be better citizens, partners, associates, and friends. I close with a reference to our Mission Statement, and the pledge to continue to promote positive change at The City Club of San Francisco ~ yesterday, today, and all of the tomorrow's to come.

"Our mission is to promote active engagement and influence in civic, social and business areas. We focus our support on community service, appreciation of The City's arts, culture and culinary experiences to inspire fellowship at the Club. People making a difference through leadership, fellowship and diversity defines the purpose of the Membership at The City Club of San Francisco. Camaraderie is not only important at the City Club...it defines our experience!"
- Victoria Welch, Club Director

A Toast to the Season & the Members!

Member Holiday Party
12/2/2008

When was the last time you went to relaxed, stress-free holiday party, thrown especially in your honor? Members that attended the Member Holiday Party on December 2nd were treated to a night just like this! Whether you enjoyed a Peppermint Stick at the specialty cocktail bar, or arrived early and gorged on an extravagant caviar spread from Tsar Nicoulai, or danced the night away with the Keith Johnson All-Stars, it was a night to remember!

Members mixed and mingled throughout the 10th and 11th floors, exploring the various food stations or selecting tasty bites as servers weaved their way through the crowd. With the festive decorations in the Club lending a holiday ambiance, and the blend of quiet background music or lively dancing available, there was something for everyone’s taste. For some members, it was their first Member holiday party, and for others, a way to catch up with friends they may not have seen in a while.

Take a look at Board Member Pamela Rhodes pictures of the evening – she took some great candid shots!

This happens to be one of my favorite events, as we get to kick off the holiday season with a party especially prepared to show how much we appreciate each and every member. What a fantastic group of people! One thing they all have in common is that they are true ladies and gentlemen, and the warmth and camaraderie felt at this party truly reflected this commonality. We, the staff, are just so thankful for this occasion and for a membership that gives back to us as much as we give to them. 2008 has been wonderful – and we are looking forward to seeing everyone throughout 2009!

Best regards,

Larissa Lorian

Do You Hear What I Hear?

December has arrived! It’s so hard to believe the Holidays are here.

Last night we hosted our Members Holiday party which helped kick off the season. It was a fun evening filled with great food, wonderful entertainment, and festive libations.

Our décor really came together well and we are excited to host parties through the rest of this month. Tonight we host BOMA with over 500 guests and the next few weeks are filled with many more.

We hope that everyone has a safe season and enjoys!

From the Catering Team at the City Club,
Cheers!!
Our Grand Holiday Party is planned for next Tuesday, December 9th. We have a few tables left, so ‘tis the season with us.
Keep it Jolly!

It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!


The holidays are my favorite time of the year. I have had the great pleasure of working at the City Club for almost three years now and this will be my third season of enjoying the Club decorated for the holidays.

The halls will be decked on December 1st and we plan to decorate the Club with gorgeous holiday décor.

Each of the rooms will be decorated with garland and wreaths abundant with twinkling lights and bows. The staircase will be adorned with fresh birch wood and lots of poinsettias. Our tree will be overflowing with gold and silver ornaments and specially wrapped presents under the tree. With holiday music playing and festive libations available, we look forward to celebrating with our Members and guests.

We hope that no matter what the condition of the economy may be in right now, when you walk into the City Club you feel embraced with joy and remember what the holidays are all about.

We thank all of the companies and Members who will join us this Season and look forward to many great celebrations!!
