I went to the Pyramid Club for the first time for a networking and social event launching a partnership between the Philadelphia Junior Chamber (Jaycees) and the Philly2night VIP Club last Wednesday evening.
I came to this event as a Philly2night VIP Club member, and honestly did not know much about the Jaycees. After speaking with several of the Jaycees and the woman who organized the event, Liz, I realized that the organization was a wonderful integration of everything that young professionals need for success in the areas of business development, management skills, individual training, community service, and international connections. I will definitely be attending all of the events created by this new partnership.
The Pyramid Club, itself, was wonderful--beautiful marble, gold, and cherry wood decor and breath-taking views of the city from every corner. It was impressive and professional without being stuffy or intimidating. It is a country club on the 52nd floor, but not in a bad way.
And, of course, the $25 Two Hour (serve yourself!) Open Bar with wine, beer, and food..that was pretty fantastic, too. The wine and beer selection was diverse and would appeal to a wide variety of people. I know I was pleased with the Pinot Grigio offered. The food was great and included Philadelphia "classics" such as, cheesesteak spring rolls, flatbread pizzas, and homemade soft pretzels.
The staff was great. Doreen was delightful! She was very attentive and friendly, constantly checking with each guest to see that everything was perfect. Everyone was very engaging and not at all aloof or disinterested. A super-friendly dining operations supervisor, Mike, was also on the floor at all times and the well-being of each guest and the success of each event was his utmost priority.
Overall, I was very impressed. It was a wonderful (and fun!) evening and I look forward to attending another event at The Pyramid Club. Hopefully soon!
Also, if you aren't a Philly2night VIP member, you should definitely consider joining. Check it out! http://zfer.us/e2qDg
