According to Bloomberg, with the New York nightlife scene being seasoned with a pinch of crypto-exclusivity, NFT is about to make its mark on Maxwell’s Tribeca, New York’s newest social club. The club is popularly known as the Dining Club. is referred to as txokos in San Sebastian, Spain.
The club will open in the Big Apple in July 2022, but is no ordinary establishment. According to what we do know, the club will require patrons to own a non-fungible token, or NFT, to be granted access to the 8000-square-foot space. It has the brilliance of being at a prestigious location, classy decor, providing members only benefits and having a well known founding team.
Upon entry, NFT holders will have access to godly experiences reserved for the upper echelons of society – patrons will be able to have their own liquor lockers, as the establishment will not have a physical bar. The user will be able to use their liquor locker to pour a glass themselves.
“We are trying to build thousands of second homes, not thirds where people are, and NFTs are a means to an end,” says club founder David Litvak.
Membership in the club starts at $1,000 for a shared wine locker, with a monthly fee of $250. After that, smaller liquor lockers will be available for $5,000 and larger lockers for $8,000.

In addition to VCR Group CEO David Rodolitz, Vaynerchuk says a large part of the club’s appeal is its “social currency”. In other words, people will have the ability to communicate through their assets – specifically, NFTs.
Unknown area for restaurant
It must be said that the concept of creating a physical experience based on the ownership of digital assets is unknown territory. Traditionally, owners of popular NFT collections have convened in online communities or metaverses. It is said that around $15 million has been raised through NFTs so far. This reflects a healthy demand, even if some owners do not join the club.
Rodolitz admitted that the club should live up to the expectations. He envisions an expensive 10,000 foot site at a yet to be determined location in Manhattan. The NFT will give holders access to exclusive parties and wine-tastings.
