In a city where being seen is practically a profession, Zero Bond has built its reputation around the radical idea of not being seen.
But that was not the case for Eli Manning, who appeared to have entered the the members-only club with wife and two friends. The New York Giants Super Bowl winning quarterback was instantly noticed in his 6’5 figure frame being the tallest in the room. Manning sat a table with his wife and friends, and ordered drinks and no food. The picture and time of Eli Manning being at Zero Bond appears to be from 2021 in the early post-covid era.
The exclusive members-only club in NoHo has become one of New York’s favorite hideaways for celebrities, athletes, influencers and assorted members of the global beautiful-people economy. Founded by hospitality impresario Scott Sartiano, Zero Bond is famously private, with a no-photos policy that makes it particularly attractive to people whose faces already appear everywhere else.
And the guest list? Think Taylor Swift, Tom Brady, Baz Luhrmann and a rotating cast of Hollywood royalty, music stars and sports legends. Swift has been spotted at the club with Travis Kelce, while recent events have attracted names including Serena and Venus Williams, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Carlos Alcaraz, Jessica Alba and 50 Cent.
The formula is simple: expensive drinks, serious privacy and enough star power to make a Hollywood premiere feel like a neighborhood gathering.
Zero Bond’s greatest luxury, however, may be the thing New York celebrities value most: anonymity. Here, the city’s most photographed people can sit down for dinner without immediately becoming dinner content.
In other words, Zero Bond is where celebrities go to escape the paparazzi—only to discover that everyone else inside is famous, too.
