All this comes with the most convenient location in New York: 34th Street and 8th Avenue. Within its nearly one-city-block configuration, the Manhattan Center offers something more than two premier New York event locations. Manhattan Center is a full-service production house encompassing all sound, lighting, and video. Our expert team of production and event operations professionals will work with your team to bring your event to life.
