A new cultural event space in New York City called Sovereign House is drawing in a crowd of conservatives, offering a platform for discussions and gatherings that were once considered taboo in the city's progressive landscape. The space, founded by Nick Allen, hosts a mix of explicitly conservative events, such as watch parties and dating mixers, alongside more general events that attract a wider audience.

The crowd ranged from 20-somethings to 60-somethings, and more than half of attendees were men. Many wore blazers and ties and at least two people sported ascots.Iulia Cazan, 24, works for the Center for Family and Human Rights, a pro-life lobbying group, and said Sovereign House was one of the first places she visited after arriving in New York in 2023. Though she has not been in the city very long, she said she has already noticed a change in what it feels like to be a conservative here.
Since then, the space has hosted a mixture of explicitly conservative events, from New York Young Republican watch parties to a singles mixer sponsored by “Date Right,” a dating app for conservatives. When asked about the conservative nature of many Sovereign House events, Allen said that “wasn’t too intentional” and the space has “supported many publications.”
He does not believe Sovereign House could have existed in the same way it does now eight years ago, or even during Trump’s first presidency.
