Profile

This venue now hosts private events only.

Garish opulence haunts this Stanford White-designed Beaux Arts national landmark that housed the former Bowery Savings Bank. Featuring a ballroom with 65-foot ceiling supported by marble Corinthian columns, Capitale is outrageously over the top, with its billowing curtains and ferns-in-urns décor, particularly in these economic times. Private functions only. A monstrosity of excess redolent of the go-go 1980’s and truly the height of metropolitan vulgarity. — Andy Bailey

Weddings

Designed by Stanford White in 1894, this former Bowery Savings Bank embodies all the grandeur of Romanesque revival with 75-foot ceilings, a glass skylight, Corinthian columns, and marble mosaic floors. Capitale can accommodate 650 guests for dinner with cocktails being sipped in the 5,000-square-foot foyer. Prices upon request.

Amazing space, food was excellent but portions were a bit small. Bison was particularly outstanding. We were there on a Monday night so the restaurant was nice and quiet, we got very attentive service. Great place for special occasions.
