If you're looking to treat yourself during a summer weekend in the city, The William Vale should be your destination of choice. Be warned, this place comes at a cost (like most of the things we covet).
Pool access is free for guests, but non-guest options include day passes ($99 on weekdays, $150 on weekends) and membership passes, which grant the member to pool access with a plus-one (starting at $899 for weekdays). Treat yourself to VIP seating by booking a pergola or cabana at an additional cost; two-person pergolas start at $100 on weekdays, $150 on weekends, and six-person cabanas will cost you $300 to $500. Sweeping views over the Brooklyn Bridge are, of course, included in the price.
As the sun sets, a twinkling skyline illuminates the poolside library, and a summery menu of light bites are served, courtesy of Chef Andrew Carmellini and NoHo Hospitality Group. This day out is an investment, but it’s one you won’t regret.
