#NewYork Is Back: Plan Ahead for your event in Soho

If you are considering private dining in Soho this season, now is the time to begin planning.

Booking early gives you more flexibility with dates, spaces, menus, and event formats. At Pera Soho, our dedicated events team helps bring those elements together in a setting that combines downtown energy with warm Mediterranean hospitality.

Why Plan Your Private Event Early?

The most requested dates—particularly Thursday evenings and the weeks between Thanksgiving and the holidays—can fill quickly.

Starting early allows you to:

• Secure a date that works for your guests

• Choose the room that best suits your event

• Decide between seated dining and a cocktail-style reception

• Create a menu and beverage experience around your group

• Coordinate audiovisual needs, seating, and other details

• Give guests traveling into the city time to make arrangements

You do not need to have every detail finalized before contacting us. A preferred date, approximate guest count, and general vision are enough to start the conversation.

Private Dining Spaces for Different Occasions

Pera Soho offers several private and semi-private spaces, allowing events to feel appropriately sized rather than placed into a one-size-fits-all room.

The Star Room

Our private Star Room accommodates up to 40 guests and can also be divided into two rooms of 20. With audiovisual capabilities and a warm, intimate setting, it is particularly well suited to corporate dinners, presentations, rehearsal dinners, and milestone celebrations.

Eastbound and Westbound Tram Rooms

Inspired by Istanbul’s historic Rue de Pera, our Tram Rooms offer a lively and sophisticated setting. The two rooms can be used independently or combined to accommodate up to 60 seated guests.

They work especially well for company gatherings, group dinners, family celebrations, and events that benefit from a flexible layout.

The Gazebo and Pergolas

For hosts searching for outdoor private dining in Soho, our garden offers a rare escape from the pace of downtown Manhattan.

The private Gazebo and semi-private Pergolas are suited to cocktail receptions, engagement parties, birthdays, bridal events, and seasonal gatherings surrounded by greenery.

Full Restaurant Buyout

For larger occasions, Pera Soho may be reserved exclusively for up to 220 seated guests or 250 guests for a cocktail-style event.

A full buyout gives your group access to the restaurant’s distinctive indoor and outdoor settings while preserving the energy and atmosphere of Pera Soho.

New 2026 Menus Designed for the Table

Our new 2026 menus return to a central idea of Mediterranean dining: the best meals are shared, unhurried, and placed at the center of the table.

The expanded selection of meze gives guests the opportunity to taste and share throughout the meal, while seasonal plates and signature mains create a generous progression for the table.

Depending on the occasion, our events team can help arrange:

• Seated multi-course dinners

• Shared, family-style meals

• Passed hors d’oeuvres

• Cocktail receptions

• Corporate lunches and dinners

• Curated wine and beverage packages

The goal is not simply to feed a large group. It is to create a meal that encourages conversation and allows the entire table to participate in the experience.

Corporate Events, Holiday Parties and Personal Celebrations

Pera Soho can accommodate a wide range of fall and holiday gatherings, including:

• Corporate dinners and executive meetings

• Client entertainment

• Networking receptions

• Product launches

• Engagement and rehearsal dinners

• Birthdays and anniversaries

• Friendsgiving celebrations

• Company holiday parties

• End-of-year team dinners

Located at 54 Thompson Street, at the corner of Broome Street, Pera Soho is convenient for guests coming from across Manhattan while still giving an event a distinctive downtown setting.
