01 / The story of this place

Make time for these

BasBlue opened in 2021 in Midtown's Cultural Center, in a 12,000-square-foot historic house on East Ferry Street that was rescued from abandonment. It's a nonprofit membership community for women and non-binary people, now more than 675 members strong, with meeting rooms, a wellness area, a bar, a lactation room and programming. The café, though, is open to everyone, cooking with local ingredients. The house rents for private events, with the Main House holding up to 350 guests.
