Travel Back in Time to 21 Club for an Unforgettable Power Lunch

This feature was produced in collaboration between Vox Creative and Lexus. Vox Media editorial staff was not involved in the creation or production of this content.

Perhaps no other Prohibition-era speakeasy is as memorable in New York City as the 21 Club in Midtown Manhattan.  An impressive roster of celebrities have passed through, and collectible toys — tributes and tokens from customers — line the ceiling. Come dressed to impress, as it's one of the few speakeasies with a strict dress code. But its intrigue as an exclusive, once-illicit eatery has enticed diners to keep coming back to 21 Club for lunch, gossip, and handshakes. Meghan Markle, star of USA Network's Suits, learns how to make the restaurant's signature lunch dish, chicken paillard, with executive chef, Sylvain Delpique.

21 Club, 21 West 52nd Street, New York, N.Y.
