The North Concourse welcomes guests to a spacious pre-function area bathed in natural light, highlighting decorative trusswork, and is conveniently located between the Loggia and the Great Hall.
The double-height outdoor Loggia, spanning the building façade and featuring Guastavino tiles and maritime details, offers a perfect pre-event gathering space with a unique perspective of the city skyline.
Overlooking the original ferry gangways, the West Concourse exudes the glamour of a 1930’s ocean liner with Deco-inspired murals, nautical lamps, and an arched wall of windows paying homage to the rich history of New York Harbor.
