LOCATION & VENUE

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 and mocktails tailored for our Gala Event. Our culinary partners will create a memorable dining experience, from elegant 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.
