One of New York’s most elegant and versatile special event destinations, The Manhattan Center is the venue of choice for corporate event planners, party producers, and show promoters. The Hammerstein Ballroom combines a magnificent, century-old former opera house with fully-integrated 21st century media and entertainment production technology. Soaring 75 feet above the main floor, the ceiling holds numerous rigging points suitable for production lighting, sound, or set design. Integration with the in-house audio recording studios, television studios, video control rooms, and post-production suites makes the space an incredible venue for productions, special events, live or taped broadcasts, and webcasts or radio broadcasts. Production possibilities in this highly flexible event space are virtually limitless. Events hosted in The Hammerstein Ballroom range from international product launches and television awards programs to designer fashion shows and holiday parties.
