"Presented as a high-end comparison point to newer membership-driven clubs, ZZ’s Club with Carbone Privato just opened in Hudson Yards and sold out 250 Founders Club memberships that went for $50,000 initiation plus $10,000 per year — a structure the piece translates to $12.5 million in one-time charges and $2.5 million in annual dues — with additional “regular” memberships priced at $20,000 initiation and $10,000 annual dues, illustrating how clubs and neighborhood restaurants alike are being shaped by what New Yorkers will pay." - Melissa McCart
