SECOND is a contemporary private event and dining venue on the second floor of the Kimpton Hotel Eventi at 849 6th Ave in Chelsea. The loft-like space blends floor-to-ceiling windows, polished concrete, warm wood accents, and a spacious wraparound terrace overlooking Sixth Avenue, creating a chic, light-filled setting for corporate meetings, milestone celebrations, and weddings. Culinary service is in-house and draws from L’Amico by Chef Laurent Tourondel, featuring Italian-influenced, market-driven menus—think wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, seasonal antipasti, roasted branzino, and prime steaks—along with thoughtfully curated wines and craft cocktails. SECOND is designed for flexibility: the main room accommodates large seated dinners with a statement bar and built-in AV, while smaller lounges and a private dining suite provide intimate spaces for board dinners or breakout sessions. The terrace can be tented or partially covered seasonally, making it a standout option for cocktail hours with skyline and Sixth Avenue views. Guests consistently praise the professional events team for seamless planning, attentive day-of coordination, and polished service. Full audiovisual capabilities (screens, projectors, microphones, and zoned sound), high-speed Wi‑Fi, dedicated coat check, greenroom/bridal suite options, and accessible entry support a wide range of formats—from executive offsites and product launches to rehearsal dinners and holiday parties. With its prime Chelsea location, refined ambience, and strong culinary program, SECOND offers a turnkey private dining experience that is both sophisticated and highly customizable.
