Le Club was a members-only restaurant and nightclub located at 416 East 55th Street in Manhattan, New York City. French expatriate Olivier Coquelin founded Le Club in 1960.
It was a playground for New York's elites, including the Vanderbilts and Kennedys. As a young man in the 1970s, Donald Trump frequented the club, particularly associating with Roy Cohn. The club moved to 313 East 58th Street in 1981, then to the Waldorf Astoria New York in 1996.

Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the late 1960s from the United States' urban nightlife scene, particularly in African-American, Italian-American, Latino and queer communities. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, brass and horns, electric pianos, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars.
Discothèques as a venue were mostly a French invention, imported to the United States with the opening of Le Club, a members-only restaurant and nightclub located at 416 East 55th Street in Manhattan, by French expatriate Olivier Coquelin, on New Year's Eve 1960.
