Ned’s Club is buzzy, exclusive — and a work in progress, writes NOTUS food correspondent Tom Sietsema.
Unlike the more established clubs in town, Ned’s reaches a wider audience. The upfront membership cost for most is $5,000, with an additional $5,000 fee annually. The result? A third of its members are under 40, a third are in their 40s and a third are over 50. The nonpartisan club has had a waitlist since it launched in February 2025 with 1,000 members, and boasts a cool clientele.
