List Of Princeton Clubs

The Princeton Club of New York is a private club located in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA. Its membership is composed almost entirely of alumni and faculty of Princeton University, which is located 40 miles outside New York City in Princeton, New Jersey.

Incorporated on December 12, 1899, the club had four homes before settling into its current clubhouse at 15 W. 43rd Street in midtown Manhattan in March 1963. During these years the club saw a steady expansion in the diversity of its membership. Cultural and ethnic diversity found steady growth, and as women joined the undergraduate body in increasing numbers, they also found a home at The Princeton Club. In 1973 the officers of the Columbia University Club found it necessary to dissolve their club across the street at 4 W. 43rd Street. The Princeton Club invited many of the Columbia Club members to apply for membership in The Princeton Club and several hundred accepted the invitation. The Club is the largest organized body of Princetonians in the world and is truly the “Heart of Princeton in New York City.”

In addition to overnight accommodation and dining facilities, the club features a 10,000 volume library, a squash and fitness center, business center, and WiFi access.
