THE VENUE

TAO Uptown, TAO Group’s flagship location, has embedded itself into the fabric of New York City. Originally a 19th-century stable for the Vanderbilt family and then a balconied movie theater, TAO Uptown was transformed into a majestic Asian “temple” and iconic NYC restaurant. Showcasing a towering 16-foot-tall Buddha that floats above a virtual reflecting pool complete with Japanese Koi Fish. Artifacts from China, Japan, and Thailand are artfully placed throughout the cavernous space. Tao Uptown’s flexible layout and versatile design make it an ideal choice for hosting diverse events.
