Does anyone have pictures or a poker chip from the club? Where was it located?

No pic or chips, but it was in the lower level of a residential high-rise just east of Madison Square park (not MSG) - 26th street I think. I only played there a couple of times, my memory of the place is not sharp. I might have one of their biz cards laying around somewhere - they were printed on the back of playing cards.

Playstation used Mayfair chips mixed in with their own. The chips were simple plastic, with an MC engraved in the center in gold. They really were not impressive.

Incorrect.

MC stands for Midtown Club.

I would also like to get a picture, and even a chip, if possible. In fact, I would like to get a chip from any closed underground NYC or Long Island poker club. Please PM me if you have any $1 chips you might want to sell (even if from a very recently closed club). I prefer chips in better condition, but as long as they are not completely trashed, I might be interested.

I would also like any information anyone can give me on the dates the Mayfair and Diamond Clubs spread poker and their locations. Thanks.

Really? There's only one building that fits that description and I can't imagine that building having a poker club inside. I heard it was near Gramercy Park.

I read it was on 25th Street, right near Grammercy Park. If someone has a business card, this could easily be settled.

Bingo. Ian Schrager bought the building recently.
