What a gorgeous space with a storied past and caring staff. I went for David Byrnes Social Distant Dance Club experience (in its experimental phase) and couldnt have been more confident in the handling of virus protocols and the safety of the participants. I cant wait to go back.

A beautiful building inside and out with a great deal of history. Unfortunately the 4th floor is used as a womens shelter. The homeless hang out outside,smoking and drinking.Its a shame

What a wonderful place, full of history and one of the oldest structures in New york city perhaps in the United States. I loved TIFFANYS designs and Some of his finest pieces of Art are located in this Armory. This is a National Historic landmark and alternative arts space .in the actuality looks more like a museum with pictures, furniture and decorations from its brilliant past ., this old building used to store provisions for the military, a library, dining room and staff offices for ten regimental companies.In the 1900 Architects and interior designers of the American Aesthetic Movement were commissioned to furnish the rooms and company quarters. The library is known as the Silver Room or Trophy Room and was designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany who worked with architect Stanford White as a consultant on the project. The masterpiece of the armory building is the Veterans Room, also known as the Tiffany Room, with hand carved wood panelling and coffered ceiling in the Viking Revival style. Other significant craftsmen with work in the building..

I love the history and Energy of this Magnificent Building. The graciousness of staff is present. Good Purpose is illuminated. A Way Forward to a Better World of Equality with Care and Compassion is Practiced! I Especially Appreciate their partnership with National Black Theatre and other arts organizations in the centennial celebration of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, 100 Years l 100 Women Iniative.

Amazingly beautiful space! So massive, and a real walk back in time to when life in NYC was very different! Either go to see a performance in the former drill hall, or take a tour of the place, and you will be amazed at the craftsmanship and detail work.

Its the city of tall building different people come here from all over the world .... Oh its new York city

What a great space for entertainment. The interior is spectacular. The high ceilings, the open space, the beautiful wooden walls and staircase are a wonderful sight. The historical painting on the walls are stunning. I had a great time at an event here. I would definitely visit again.

Venue for Antiques, Art & Design.

Awesome space great for many exhibitions. Check their calendar!

Last week I returned for a walk along Park Avenue. It was a nice sunny day and I walked around the area in the 90s Saturday there was a photo shoot on 94 street and Park Ave and I took a few minutes to capture the action.

Beautiful event space! ADAA was amazing.

This a major cultural institution in NY which due to its enormous space can stage very space demanding performances. Armory known to bring plays and performances from around the world and while each particular piece may be hit or miss ( in the eyes of the beholder) it never lacks of grand scale. The year 2020 promises a lot of first class performances so get your tickets in advance. Note the book office does not do advanced sales in at least 90 minutes prior to the days performance, just plan for that if you want to avoid web or phone booking fees.

Beautiful building that host an equally beautiful cast of various talented people. See anything and everything they have to offer.

Went to a very cool show here for Redbull. The space is an old Military marching ground so the entrance to the venue reminds me of an old part of West Point military institute. It almost felt like entering their mess hall. Magical. If you have an opportunity to go to a music show here, go as you will not regret it.

Amazing venue for many great art shows. The sense of opulence and tradition is palpable. Facilities are generally very clean and vendors are top notch in my experience.

Great events, art fairs and art installations here, lots of open space inside!

Big beautiful building the size of a city block. The front gates are wrought iron and the doors are massive with iron trim. The lobby has two staircases and the decorative wood trim throughout this area is gorgeous.

I work at the mental health shelter located there

Great concert hall whos proportions are a bit oversized, might dwarf the performers but with the right speakers, the sound can fill the entire cavernous space.

I took my well-traveled daughter to see the Judgement Day play at the Armory. We arrived early and were both very impressed with the history, rooms, decorations and how well run is this landmark. Highly recommended to all New Yorkers and shame on me it took me 35 years to get there!

I’ve been here twice and both times were for extraordinary concerts from unique artists. The first time was ANOHNI and this time for FKA twigs. The venue is spacious and roomy for a standing, general admission show. They don’t overbook the venue like some other promoters do, so there’s always enough space in the crowd and you can see the stage from anywhere on the floor. The sound is great and the staff is always warm and welcoming.

Loved the Winter Show. Fascinating globes, furniture and sculptures I wasnt expecting. How nice seeing familiar faces in NYC!

Historic structure in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan. Inside the massive, high-ceilinged Drill Hall, I have seen some of the most unique performances ever. Check out their website and see if anything incites interest.

Beautiful 19th century gem. Its 55,000 sq.ft. assembly room boasts an 80 foot ceiling allowing for extraordinary theatrical productions! PLUS, amazing art, original details, walk-in sized fireplaces, tiffany glass work and much more. A uniquely exquisite space.

Can you please anyone give me some info about this structural monument. This is awesome sculpture.

Absolutely beautiful venue. A new surprise each time we see a set there.

An incredible historic structure being renovated carefully and beautifully.

Always a pleasure to be in this building.

The place to go for adventurous and progressive shows and concerts.As good as BAM for programs but the space is a big win.

As always a wonderful experience. The play, Judgement Day, was great and staging phenomenal!

It was so blue in there. You might even say ultramarine. Cyan and cobalt filled my soul-being. I forgot magenta. She was lost in cerulean seas. Even the fromage était bleu. I think my green and red light cones deactivated. Optometrists hate me now.

Just saw Lehman Trilogy. An amazing piece of theater but Armory, as beautiful as it is, is too big a venue for the show. I love going to see the adventurous work they import and I will keep going back but those ticket prices are ridiculous. Come on! Will this just host theater for the elite who can afford it or those of us who break open our piggy banks?

The beautiful building .Mesmerizing place

The place is huge! Really unique venue, though I wish the audience area was a little better organized/staged as the further back gets near impossible to see the stage unless youre 6 plus.

A hidden jewel of New york. The building itself is a work of art. Rooms are beautifully decorated in 19th century style and still has the glamour of its heydays.

This is a beautiful historic venue. The architecture is very impressive. Ive attended a couple of fashion shows here.

This is not a public space perse. But a great place non the less. The rooms still left like they were in world war I are priceless. If you can get to them. ;)

It says armory but don’t be fooled. They will not give you weapons. ️

Saw The Lehman Trilogy at the Park Avenue Armory. Almost 1,000 seats. Have to climb up an almost bleacher to get to our seats, but a wonderful production. Over 3 hours, with primarily 3 actors portraying all characters. Try to get a ticket if you can.

Was a real old boys club - now a multicultural arts venue.

Spacious venue in manhattan, hard to not find a great view in this venue. Would love to come back to see more performances here. Adding on, its super easy to get to if you are intimidated by traffic

Cutting edge performances and many music and lecture series

What first intrigued me was the Art portraits of the Army. I respect, and am honored to be a part of a Country, and city like New York, that prides itself in keeping me safe! Look forward to visiting again.

Gorgeous venue - in particular went to the Hansel and Gretal exhibit which was so interesting!

Nice activity to do with kids and a good show as well

Very impressed of what I saw when entering through park Avenue entrance. Well preserved with huge portraits and interior design make think you are in a museum of arts. Keep the good work

In was here for a show being setup for.next year... Wonderful organization

It looks very fancy and decorated for the holidays

Nice, sit back and reflect on those who giving their service for us

Amazing space - totally unexpected

Yerma stunk but the place was cool.

Iconic place for those who care about art.

Park Avenue Armory is one of the most interesting event venues and art space in New York City. It is a space that surprises you the moment you step inside as it has such a wonderful and rich history, yet is so versatile that it transforms into so many different types of spaces. I have been here for the Ai Wei Wei and Herzog de Meuron exhibition on survellience, and also Nick Caves’ Thing and both experiences were so different! Fashion events held here are transformative. A must visit space to understand New York’s incredible art culture.

Awesome event DJ Madrid was the bomb@

Places to visit in the city while you in Manhattan

Great show again this year

Great space for live entertainment - music, theatre - and even movies. Beautiful old building with ornate corridors and military theamed decorations. There is an after-hours lounge after most shows that serve drinks - wine, beer, and a few basic cocktails - and light snacks in a beautiful room down one of the first floor corridors. We saw The damned here, which was a very experimental staging that used the space well.

Its a great venue for arts events, but the staff working the night I attended, though very pleasant, were not very well informed. I asked basic questions that no one could answer, there was no alacrity or even feigned effort to find answers. Just politeness. I enjoyed my show and the bartenders but that was it.

This is so New York. A while back, the Armory started to promote/host cultural events. It is a unique and wonderful venue! Go early to visit the site. There are some breathtaking architectural details and interior design to see. Check it out on Google!

Always pulls together an interesting and well done season. Ive seen many productions here that were head and shoulders above whats been on the Broadway stages. I often wish more of these shows were captured on film and streamed to a wider audience. They do great art that needs to be seen.

Great building - amazing history and amazing state of maintaining it. The combination of seeing a modern and quite experimental show in this marvellous building is a really rewarding experience. After the show there is often a lounge bar (with overpriced drinks and snacks), but again, the space is worth staying for a while and enjoying a drink.

Samsung note 8 unpacking... Great time

Historic East 67th Street & Park Avenue Armory. Great for benefits, parties, luncheons, auctions, art galleries, acting/musical performances, fashion shows etc.

Ive only been a couple times for very different events, but both of them were interesting and completely different uses of the space. The main room here feels bigger than a city block to me, and that sense of vastness is hard to find in New York City.

Giving five stars to this place because of the fantastic exhibit in the time I had. You have to find out what the exhibit is and then see if you want to go. However, once there, its a great place to be with easy access and easy to walk around.It sounds a little bit unusual for the visitor to go to an armory, but this is the place for exhibitions and displays and you wont be disappointed

Kudos to the transformation to its status as a leading cultural center. Incredible creative use of its enormous space.

This is a very cool and unique place to visit. I had enjoyed the different times I had been to this place. I recommend doing a tour of the place. The place itself is historic . I recomend it!!!

Very good place, nice people

An outstanding experience from start to finish. Definitely will make this a regular part of our nights out. Wonderful area to walk around a bit after the show as well.

A beautiful, historical space that should not be missed. Find a reason to go. There are many events and tours. Just do it.

Beautiful ambience, historic and artistic culture

I have visited this place once, It is very beautiful and ancient building with live music concerts and different movie halls and various other events inside it. I visited for very less time but i could see people enjoying very much . They were lost in the music concerts being held there.

A spacious, elegant, and historical building where many large events are held in doors. Located on 66-67th St & Lexington Avenue.

I love the Armory, its architecture, and have enjoyed many of their exhibits. However, if it were possible to give zero stars for the Hansel & Gretel installation, I would. The objective of the installation, to make us feel the oppressiveness of continued surveillance, is not achieved. After the initial novelty of being photographed by drones passes, you are left with boredom and the realization that the artist fundamentally fails to engage the viewer. There is so much meaningful art in NYC, which succeeds in challenging the viewer, your money will be better spent elsewhere.

Fantastic gigantic piece of history

Amazing venue with unique shows

Ms IVY T,Delgado is one of the Artist,who works with all kinds of forms, Clay, wood,,paper,oranges,pears,apple, at the Armory

The Armory is a strange place to grade because it is after alk, a building. It depends what you see there. The space is vast and the room is reconfigured for the event. Some are more successful than others, however, the directors import innovative pieces. Id check before I go the first time. The most amusing part of buying the tickets is selecting your preferred term of address. You may pick Admiral. Duchess, etc. Never had such a variety.

A large and unique performance space that lends itself well for shows and art events that wouldnt work anywhere else in the city. Only the most open minded wont find at least a few of their offerings on the artistically challenging side of things. Nonetheless, their offerings are almost always interesting, and ultimately are worth a look when you are willing to take a risk.

Winter show 2020

Wonderful awesome space great customer service as well as a great show.

This is an excellent personal space. First this year history of the building and the architecture. Second the public use for art shows and exhibitions. And third the theater Productions which has a lecture series, full theatrical presentations, and other exciting events.

Attended the New York International Antiquarian Book Fair. Great time, but them books were a little bit out my price range

Impressive January 2019 winter show less walls between the booths can be attractive, beautiful silver and other objects of art in the exhibition, staff can stimulate contacts between visitors, i love it

This place is OK to visit when they have events open to the public I met Sean Connery there.

Nice place. Generally friendly staff, but, wow, are they over it. Function of the fact they know theyll never see you again.

Exciting venue. Lehman Trilogy really well done.

Macbeth with Kenneth Branagh, awesome

I went to the Park Avenue Armory for an art exhibit called An Event of Thread and had an amazing time. The line was long and it took some time to get in, but the inside of the space is incredibly detailed - I love the woodsman-y feeling it has to it. Once you get into the main space, its feels like it could go on forever!The event itself was really interesting. It examined the relationship movement has with art and serenity. People were on large swings that caused a huge curtain to move in a rhythmic way.

Impressive place with a long history. Art shows are top notch.

Love this place ... Vintage .. Was there for the Tefaf Show

Saw Miyagis Antigone. Gorgeous!!!

Love it beautiful stuff to be seen

Beautiful and Amazing Art.

Big old style venue, located upper East side near the 63rd St lexington ave, nice ambiance, big rooms for the big events function

Beautiful building with interesting history

Great arts space.

I Never visit this place ..most times just passed by..seems like a lot indoor functions take place here
