RAPAPORT... The 24 Karat
Club of the City Of New York will cease holding its annual Grand Banquet
at the city’s Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel after more than 100 years due to a renovation project at the venue.
The 115th banquet on January 14, 2017, will be the last one
to take place in the grand ballroom, the 24 Karat
Club said. A three-year refurbishment project at the luxury Manhattan
hotel has forced the organization to seek an alternative.
The banquet has been held at the Waldorf-Astoria since 1913 when the hotel was
located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street, now the site of the
Empire State Building. Only the
Pennsylvania Society banquet, which dates back to 1899, can claim to have used
the ballroom for longer.
