Tour Casa Ezra: A Premium Townhouse Event Space in NYC’s Upper West Side

A Townhouse That Has Seen It All, And Is Ready For More

There’s something cinematic about stepping into Casa Ezra. Maybe it’s the soaring 11-foot ceilings or the natural light pouring across bare walls, mid-century furniture, and museum-quality artwork. Or maybe it’s because this townhouse literally was a movie set, hosting Warhol-era experimental films in the 1960s and ’70s.

Today, it’s ready for a new wave of creators. Casa Ezra offers a rich backdrop for:

• Editorial photo shoots with timeless interior details
• Narrative film or video productions requiring multiple styled settings
• Brand activations where storytelling and design are front and center
• High-touch private events in an environment that feels both exclusive and grounded

It’s a space with soul. And light. And a theater room.

Design That Tells a Story—Without Ever Needing to Shout

Architecturally, Casa Ezra is a masterclass in restraint. The palette is warm but quiet. The lines are soft but never cold. And the intentional layering of art, furniture, and layout creates a lived-in elegance that feels more curated home than event venue.

Here are just a few of the standout design features:

• A wisteria-covered garden pergola that creates a dreamlike urban oasis
• A cozy library nook perfect for conversations or reading scripts
• A spa-inspired sauna and steam room tucked into the lower level
• A fully equipped screening room with projector and Apple TV
• A chef-friendly open kitchen that doubles as a social hub

And throughout? A rotating collection of art and artifacts, from New York painters of the ‘60s and ‘70s to ancient Egyptian and Pre-Columbian pieces, that turns every room into an experience.
