"People walking past this Upper East Side Jacobean-style townhouse have no idea about the wild things lurking inside. A giant stufed polar bear named Percy. An Antarctic penguin. A cheetah from Teddy Roosevelt's 1909 African expedition. They are artifacts from great adventures across the globe set inside an impossibly grand, English-styled house. Who could resist? "We're still a bit of a mystery to people, " confesses Lacey Flint, archivist and curator of research collections. Founded in 1904, this private club is where the world's top explorers have gathered to trade tales. Past members Robert Peary and Mathew Henson were the first to reach the North Pole in 1909. Member Sir Edmund Hillary was the first person to summit Mt. Everest with Tenzing Norgay in 1953. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, also members, reached the moon in 1969. You feel that sense of discovery in the sumptuous surroundings, where artifacts of adventure are everywhere. In the red Members Lounge, two enormous elephant tusks flank the fireplace. A massive, antique globe was actually used to plan historic expeditions. And those thick mittens are from the 1909 North Pole expedition. Wood-paneled walls and stained-glass windows add an air of aristocracy. Exoticism even extends to the club's legendary dinners, where tarantulas have been on the menu, along with other species like the iguana. Any visit to the club culminates on the top floor, the ultimate hideout with soaring ceilings, leather couches, handsome oil paintings. You are surrounded by taxidermy from all over the world; a walrus, a Thinoceros, a lion, and more. "All of these animals were collected for scientific study," Flint reminds us. Take everything in. And before you leave, find the Famous Firsts plaque in the lobby, listing pioneering to walk on Mars. expeditions. There's a blank space at the bottom for the first member"
