NEW YORK 1930
Somewhere in London, a door has opened. It leads to 1930s New York at Christmas and 58th Street — Manhattan’s last, greatest super-speakeasy. Today you are the Beautiful & Damned of Jazz Age Christmas New York …… enjoying Christmas tunes, tall Yuletide tales and scandalous seasonal surprises. This ‘temple of rhythm’ is your playground – it’s like walking into a lavish New York film set …….
Descend into a seasonal world of Harlem jazz, Park Avenue feasting, and Manhattan Island excess. Your Cabaret table is waiting.
From the moment you enter you’re transported to another time. A glamourous time. There will be wild jazz, a 6-course seasonal feast, and a Pandora’s box of Jazz Age tales & wicked surprises
So what’s it all about? 58th Street is an immersive fantasy experience by master world-builders, The Lost Estate. The experience transports guests to a night at New York’s greatest 1930s speakeasy, Belle Livingstone’s 58th Street Country Club – fusing theatre, live jazz, burlesque, storytelling, food and drink, and fully detailed, immersive interiors.
Our afternoon will most likely be compered by the Club’s owner, Ms Belle Livingstone (an American socialite known as the ‘Queen of the Speakeasies’) and brings together a star-studded house band with some of London’s greatest culinary, theatrical and design talents in a totally unique, one-of-a-kind experience.
Swinging 58th Street, New York is no fiction. It was completed in the early 1930s, the final glittering masterpiece of infamous showgirl, socialite and speakeasy entrepreneur Belle Livingstone. Now, each opulent detail of this outrageous true story has been crafted, re-imagined, brought back to life by the team of artists, visionaries and world-makers behind The Lost Estate in London.
Food: Be transported to the 1930s by a 6-course Park Avenue tasting menu, including period-inspired dishes capturing old-world Manhattan opulence, featuring fresh seafood options like crab and classic reinterpretations such as the Endive Waldorf Salad, ‘A La Mode’. A lavish centre-piece highlight featuring sirloin of beef prepared with 1930s high-society flair for a main course and a classic period indulgence, including a signature caramelised apple tarte. Dietary Options: Dedicated vegetarian, vegan, and allergen-friendly versions of the six-course menu are fully available upon prior notice.
Live out the golden age of American Hospitality where old world decadence meets Empire City flair.
Non-stop Hot Jazz: Music from scorching house band The 58th Street Stompers, led by legendary trumpeter, ‘King’ Rory Simmons in a revue straight out of 1930s New York at Christmas. Hostess and club owner, Ms. Belle Livingstone (Yvette Robinson) compère, will take you on an outrageous voyage of Jazz Age tales, legends and rhythm.
Dress Code: Dress Code is most definitely 1930s style – glamourous, festive, elegant!
Menu: The Christmas 2026 menu will be posted here when availabl.
We will sit close to each other as a group on small tables of 2 & 4. Companions will be seated together, but please indicate on the booking form if you have a preference for size, but not guaranteed. All are on a first-come first-serve basis.
58th Street is not the easiest of places to get to, or find, on your own, unless you go overnight – such a hassle! So, why not make it easy on yourself and join us on our small coach?
We only have a limited number of places reserved (15) and with tables of 2 & 4, we aim to keep a really ‘exclusive’ feel to our special Christmas event.
