When first announced in November 2022, the Flyfish Club was to be the city's first NFT restaurant. However, ownership (including Resy co-founder Gary Vaynerchuk) pivoted to a more traditional membership model.
The pricing follows: a standard individual membership costs $3,500 annually (with a $1,500 initiation fee). 
And here's what you get:
Nestled in the bustling heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side, Flyfish Club extends over three expansive levels, covering more than 11,000 square feet of meticulously designed space. Members enjoy private access to a variety of curated areas, rooted in elevated dining and social experiences.The club boasts a restaurant, a lounge, a private dining room, and for select members, an exclusive omakase counter.The club's interiors are the creation of Garrett Singer Design, a distinguished leader in the design industry.

Previously at this address: The five-screen Sunshine Cinema closed in January 2018 after 17 years in service.
Landmark reportedly had the opportunity to buy the property but decided against it after CB3 voted down a proposal for a full liquor license for a cafe in the theater in 2012 for pre- and post-movie drinks and dinner.
As The Lo-Down reported then, "residents in attendance ... expressed serious concerns about the application in an area already teeming with nightlife activity." Moviegoers out to see the latest from, say, Jim Jarmusch are well-known to get cranked on the craft beer.
Today, alcohol sales at multiplexes are as common as soda and popcorn, including at the AMC Village 7, Village East by Angelika, Regal Union Square, and Regal Essex Crossing.
Built in 1898, the Sunshine Cinema building was formerly the Houston Hippodrome motion picture theatre and a Yiddish vaudeville house. After sitting abandoned for many years, it was renovated, and the Sunshine opened on Dec. 21, 2001.
