Upper Story by Charlie Palmer
“Gavin and the Astra team were absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding.”
“The staff here are very accomodating and very helpful, the space is very large and has very nice scenic views from the terrace.”
“The space overlooks the 59th street bridge & tram into Roosevelt Island, which isn't the most beautiful view but still ok.”

Upper Story, formerly known as Astra, is a wonderful event space that caters to large events, corporate meetings, holiday parties, wedding receptions and things of that sort. My job has celebrated our Holiday party here for the past three years.
The staff here are very accomodating and very helpful, the space is very large and has very nice scenic views from the terrace. I attempted to capture those views, but I had a few too many drinks at the party and the pictures are blurry.
Anyhow, if you are seeking a large space for a function, check this place out! I highly recommend.
Get to the Chase:
Pros:
1) Had a great dinner with open bar for a university event
2) Staff were extremely helpful and attentive
3) Fantastic rooftop view, which paired well with the sunny summer weather
4) Halibut, tuna tartar and champagne – yes please! I feel like a bloody king of the castle!
Cons:
1) Probably pricey, but the university paid – WIN
I do a lot of business in the D&D building or meet clients from the area up here. Everything I have had is delicious. I am a big guy and eat a lot and I have never left hungry. The asian chicken salad is so flavorful and the chicken is moist. The fusilli (I think) pasta special was so good. Cheese, light sauce, a great helping of veg, and a nice punch of hot pepper.
It is a pretty pricey for lunch. I guess you pay for the location and views. The guys that take your order are very professional, friendly, and polite.
Come to D&D, shop, and eat!
This is an awesome event space. Our company had their summer party here last week and it was just lovely!
Suited up greeters and caterers all over, passing around YUMMY passed hors'dourves. The view is great of the city skyline and the open bar was great because it was pretty much fully stocked. People are complaining about the food and drinks and stuff, clearly not knowing that they don't serve the same thing everytime, you have to have the stuff you want requested…it's an event space for Pete's sake! The food was great, lobster tacos, steak, some sort of grilled chicken, and these mushroom cakes with truffle sauce on it…ohhh man! I like this place…can't wait to go back.
