The Brook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exclusive private club located at 111 East Fifty-fourth Street New York. It was founded in 1903 by a group of former Knickerbocker Club members who were interested in founding a club that did not take itself as seiously as the Knickerbocker Club or the numerous other private clubs in New York.

The name is derived from the Alfred Lord Tennyson poem The Brook, "For men may come and men may go, but I go on for ever".
