The Racquet and Tennis Club, familiarly known as the R&T, is a private social and athletic club at 370 Park Avenue, between East 52nd and 53rd Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.

History
The Racquet Court Club opened in 1876 at 55 West 26th Street. It had two racquets courts, an indoor running track and two bowling alleys, but it did not have a tennis court. In 1890, it merged into the newly incorporated Racquet and Tennis Club, which planned to build a tennis court, moving the following year to a second, larger club house at 27 West 43rd Street (1891). This second club house had two racquets courts, one fives court and one court tennis court. The Club moved to its third, and current, home in 1918.

Building
The R&T's current clubhouse was designed by William Symmes Richardson, a partner at McKim, Mead, and White. The facility was built on a parcel offered for lease by a member of the club, Robert Goelet. Richardson, who had primary design responsibility for Pennsylvania Station and the Hotel Pennsylvania, proposed an integrated Italian Renaissance style and his firm's proposal was presented to the membership for approval in April 1916. In addition to offering its members more spacious amenities, the move to Park Avenue afforded more consistent natural light for the skylit playing courts, as well a generally more desirable location. Construction began on December 20, 1916 and was completed on September 7, 1918. The builder was Mark Edlitz, and the estimated cost was $500,000. Board of Directors at this time included financier Ogden Mills and sportsman Harry Payne Whitney.

Letdown after ESA & OGS but Still a Great Summer Read
Format: Hardcover
Highly anticipated after 2025's One Golden Summer sequel to Every Summer After because The Florek boys are everything. Loved the setting (Tofino sounds gorgeous), but the book was off balance. Long-suffering George was so thoughtful & obviously in love with his BFF Frankie. Other than shared history, I wondered why. She's supposed to be independent (as was Jo in her fave book Little Women), but she spends a lot of time sobbing, moping, resenting, & pushing everyone away. She's oblivious to George's obvious devotion even when he's traveling the world for work & firmly consigns him to the friend zone (but doesn't date anyone else beyond a device driven brief engagement to wildly unsuitable guy). At 30, she still thinks romance will kill their 22 yr friendship? Even their magical week in Tofino when they're together is unsettled by her reticence & constant disbelief they can be a couple. There are a lot of flashbacks to the besties at 8, 12, 16, 20, & last year that disrupt the flow & don't serve the story. Still, she writes beautiful sentences and has the ability to transport. It's a good book, just a 4 not a 5.

George was awesome...the setting was beautiful...not a fan of Frankie
Format: Hardcover
I had to buy this book since One Golden Summer was amazing and stayed with me longer after I finished it. In this book, the setting and descriptive scenery of their honeymoon destination and how it was woven into the story was the highlight. The romance took second place and was lackluster overall as I never really connected with why Frankie was such a good friend and George fell in love with her. The ending was just okay and I think the letters could have been better utilized in the story instead of dumped in at the end. The whale storyline was a footnote and distracted from the story. It could have been a few chapters shorter overall. I loved George and felt like he deserved better.

OH, GEORGE!!! 😮‍💨🫠 What a perfect friends to lovers summery romance. Fortune has become a fast favorite of mine to just make my heart ache. Yes, Frankie is oblivious, slow and frustrating at times but it was such a lovely, scenic and magical story! 🥰🥰🥰

predictable but enjoyable
Format: Kindle
Very obvious plot, but still enjoyed the character and storyline development. If you’re looking for a mindless, easy romance then I would recommend this.

This stuff really works — turns sunburn into a tan! ☀️🌺⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was skeptical, but this really does what it says! I got a little too much sun and used this right after showering no peeling, no pain, and within a day or two, my skin turned a gorgeous golden brown instead of burning. It feels soothing, smells great, and absorbs quickly without being sticky. Definitely a must-have for beach trips or after any sun exposure. I’ll never go without it again!
