Host Your Event at Avenue

 

Avenue isn’t just for Sundays. Our doors are open wide to the life of the city — and that means weddings, concerts, fundraisers, recovery meetings, dinner parties, art shows, and yes, the occasional PTA drama. If you need space, chances are we’ve got a room that feels just right. We’re glad to be part of the artistic and community life of New York City.​ Because Avenue is your spiritual home in the real world — and sometimes, your nonprofit gala venue too.

A warm, well-appointed gathering space that feels more like a loft than a hall. Think:

• 12-Step Recovery Meetings – A safe, welcoming space for renewal and support.

• Creative Workshops & Readings – Where neighborhood artists share their work and find community.
