48 Wall Street Events
Raise a glass and celebrate with top professionals in matrimonial & family law
— judges, lawyers, mediators & all who support families in transition!
Since 1928, 48 Wall Street has stood as a landmark of architectural excellence in Manhattan's Financial District. Once home to the Bank of New York, this historic venue retains its original 1920's grandeur from the soaring 30-foot ceilings and Palladian windows to the grand marble staircase that has welcomed generations. Today, this iconic space hosts the city's most memorable events, blending timeless elegance with modern sophistication.
Come and delight in the evening's exceptional cuisine and handcrafted cocktails tailored for our Gala Event. Our culinary partners will create a memorable dining experience, from elegant plated dinners to interactive food stations and signature drink menus.
Don't miss this fun opportunity to support FamilyKind's work while reliving history at 48 Wall Street.
