Raines Law Room
24 East 39th Street
Located through The Shakespeare Pub, this speakeasy-type lounge offers the same opulence and design style as the Chelsea original, including curtained off booths, service bells for waiters, and a lengthy list of drinks including a build your own Old Fashioned allowing guests to select their bitters, booze, and sweeteners. The two connected brownstones at 24 East 39th Street were home to the Williams Club since 1924, a private alumni social club for the prestigious liberal arts school, Williams College. The building has since transformed into The William. This six-story historical building has undergone a complete interior restoration to unveil a refreshed, modern, and technologically advanced boutique hotel.
