Lunch is every weekday from 12:00 to 2:00. Special arrangements can be made by calling Jim Mackowski, however.

Yes, the Club has a Speaker Series, approximately 5-6 times per year, over breakfast, typically from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. A goal of the Speaker Series is for the Club to act as a forum for discussion on topics of local interest ranging from politics to development and from sports to the arts. The Board is always looking for speakers of interest to our Members. Please contact Dave Wagner (dwagner@roosevelt-cross .com) with your ideas.

Yes, the Club offers this too. The Club is an intimate and cost-effective venue for breakfast, lunch, or dinner meetings. Contact Jim Mackowski to schedule your event, whether large or small. Breakfast can be accommodated until 11:00a.m.

While the Club is not routinely open on Saturdays and Sundays, it is always available for your special event, whether business-oriented, or a family gathering of some sort such as an anniversary or birthday party, graduation, rehearsal dinner or even a small wedding. Catering of private parties is a hallmark of the Club and is far more cost-effective than most restaurants and banquet facilities. Plus, as Members know, the view is unparalleled.

First, thank you for featuring the Club. Growth in membership is one way to ensure the Club remains viable and vibrant well into the future. A new member application is readily available on the Club's website: www.middayclubbuffalo.com. Feel free to have your associate complete the form and drop it off at the Club or forward it to Club President Lindy Korn at lkk75atty@aol.com.

Great question. Through the years, membership levels have evolved to meet the needs and desires of the Club's users. Currently there are 3 basic membership levels, as follows:

One great way to do this at your office is to suggest what the Board has dubbed the Fifteen Percent Program. Coworkers of a Member who are indentified in advance are permitted to use the Club. A 15% surcharge is added to their meal tab, and it is billed on the Member's account. This is a great way to introduce the Club to business associates or to treat members of your office, including support staff, to some special time at the Club, even in your absence.

An Associate is a co-worker of a current Club Member who can join the Club without an initiation fee or monthly minimum. The Associate Member pays the $15 per month assessment only. This leads to an extremely cost-effective membership, particularly for those starting out in business. Of course, Associate Members are responsible for the cost of their meals, but there is no monthly minimum.

Of course! From approximately 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. every day of the workweek, the Club is open and accessible to all Members. The anteroom boasts comfortable seating, together with the local newspaper and New York Times. Feel free to make the Club your venue of choice between meetings and appointments.

Absolutely! The Knox Room, which comfortably seats 12 around a large table is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The Club is equipped with free WiFi. Unlike hotels and other local clubs, there is no room charge for reserving the Knox Room.

Sure. The Club would bill your account, and all are welcome

Take the Liberty Building elevators to the 19th floor. Turn left off the elevator and follow the sign to the end of the hall. Take the stairway to the 21st floor. The Liberty Building is on the corner of Main and Court Streets in downtown Buffalo.

Of course. Jim can work with you to provide menu items or almost anything you desire, including desserts, to make your off-site event as memorable as are your meals at the Club. With advance notice, the Club's wait staff can be made available to assist at your off-site event as well.

Increased members and usage are the necessary combination to ensure the Club's longevity into the future. With Jim Mackowski's superb menu and the attentive service provided by the wait staff, the Club serves all business needs. Please encourage your friends and business associates to frequent the Club. Do come for lunch more frequently. If your office is in the Liberty Building, the Club will deliver lunch right to your office, a service many of our Liberty Building-based Members have come to rely on. Call 716.852.7792.
