Venues & Event Spaces near Astoria, NY

“We had my daughter's birthday at Sky Village - Astoria Park and it was perfect. The kids had a lot of fun running around and doing the art activity. The space was perfectly decorated and the staff was so kind and easy to work with. My daughter said it was her best birthday so far :) Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun party space in Astoria!”

“Really cute place. Often come here with my kid for their open play after school during the week to jump in their bouncy houses and play with the arcades. And recently we attended a party which was very nice and organized with the helpful staff, offered pizza and snacks to the kids. The hosts also did some games with the children when they were in the play area and once we went in the room for food and cake it was also fun. Will definitely look into it for future birthday parties for my son.”

“Went with my mom and her friends to celebrate her birthday we had an amazing time !!! Jennifer and atahya were very alert and on demand we would definitely go back”

“Myself and 5 other people went to The Drunken Labatory Brooklyn to celebrate my cousins birthday. Each table seated 6 people so we had a table to ourselves. It was like $75 per person. When you enter you are asked to select one of the theme drinks, and given a shot. You are asked to come up with a sexy scientist name and put on your lab coat. We had a DJ who played good music. We also had a host/Professor who was very lively. You are able to order additional drinks (card only). Be prepared to do actual science project and answer trivia questions. Your prize is more shots. We definitely enjoyed ourselves”

“Food and drinks were okay. A little overpriced in my opinion for the drinks. Two small mojitos (not strong) cost $44. Had to keep going out the room to call them if we wanted to order drinks or food; so service could be a little more attentive. But they were accommodating and very patient when it came to splitting the bill unexpectedly. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and had good sound.”

“Radio City Music Hall is an iconic landmark, and seeing it in person is truly a special experience. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of New York City, making it easily accessible whether you’re exploring the city or attending an event. The building itself is a masterpiece, with its art deco architecture and grand design making it a sight to behold. Whether you’re attending a show or just visiting to see it up close, it’s a cool and memorable place to experience.”

“Private brunch for a baby shower, the crew was fantastic, the fixing were on point and service impeccable. Lots of refills, tables cleared promptly and any needs met instantly. There was lots of street parking (meters and alt side) and all went as planned.”

“Yesterday I used the Workville Space for a team meeting with 10 people. It is a fantastic office space! The customer service is exceptional! Booking via email was super easy with a live person able to answer all questions. Once we arrived the reception administrator was super helpful and helped me set up my equipment. He was available throughout my meeting to help with any needs or questions. The space was clean, bright, professional and perfect for our needs. I will definitely be returning! I highly recommend Workville!”

“I've taken several lessons with Hugh Heo. He has worked with me to relearn how to swing from the ground up. There has been a very noticeable improvement to my ability to play well and consistently after practicing what he has been teaching. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get better.”

“The NYC Transit Museum is a must-visit for any New Yorker or visitor interested in the city's rich history. I'm impressed that this underground gem offers a fascinating look into the evolution of the subway system, from its early days to the modern-day marvels we rely on today.

If you're looking for a unique and educational experience, the NYC Transit Museum is definitely worth a visit. (Please don't let go of the metro card).”

“Joe Orzo and team went above and beyond to make my daughter’s wedding perfect! From the views to cocktail hour, to the most delicious food and bringing around second servings…. They outdid themselves!!!!”

“As a wedding photographer, I always appreciate venues that offer both incredible views and a seamless experience—and Tribeca Rooftop + 360° does exactly that. The rooftop provides one of the best panoramic views of NYC, making it a stunning backdrop for portraits, especially around sunset. Indoors, the modern, open space can be transformed to fit any couple’s vision, whether they’re going for something classic, romantic, or contemporary.

Beyond the aesthetics, the team here is fantastic. They’re organized, professional, and make sure everything flows smoothly, which makes a huge difference in how stress-free and enjoyable the day feels for couples (and their vendors!).

If you’re looking for a wedding venue with an unbeatable cityscape, great lighting, and a team that truly knows how to run an event, Tribeca Rooftop + 360° is always a great choice.”

“Such a great experience! Staff were super nice and friendly. They will guide you through your candle making process. You are allowed to use up to two fragrances. (They have an amazing collection of fragrances!) The whole process will take about 40min and you come back to pick up your candle in 2h. Ours turned out super pretty! Would definitely recommend this place to friends ”

“My girlfriend and I attended the Valentine's Day Concert last night and it was a WONDERFUL event. The selection of music was wonderful and the musicians were amazing....”

“We have not been able to stop raving about Riverview and about our experience there. I can’t say enough good things about The Riverview. The team made sure our event was more than we could have ever imagined and asked for. I must have called over 50 venues before choosing this one, and not a single place came close to the level of professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail that Stefania and Arthur showed us. My mother, who owned a party planning business for years, even said she’s never seen a venue handle things this smoothly and thoughtfully.

From the very beginning, they went above and beyond. They thought through every tiny detail - things I wouldn’t have even known to ask about. They were incredibly responsive, even on weekends, after hours, and late at night and always made us feel like we were their top priority. Because we live far from the venue, Stefania not only arranged a virtual walkthrough for us, she then actually went through the space herself, gathered  photos of each area, and sent them to us with descriptive details so we could decide which rooms we wanted to use for specific parts of the wedding. They were incredibly accommodating and flexible. They were on-top of scheduling multiple meetings to make sure our whole event was perfect and exactly the way we wanted it to be.

They offered so many thoughtful touches - like including a beautiful bench option for under the bedeckin and even a chuppah - and packed so much into the package that most venues would charge extra for. They kept in constant communication, checked in regularly, and scheduled multiple meetings to ensure we felt completely ready.

The day of the wedding, everything was flawless. My father is handicapped, and they took the time to sit down with us beforehand to plan everything out carefully - even measuring the aisle to make sure it was comfortable for him. That level of care meant the world to us.

The venue itself is absolutely STUNNING - it is so regal, elegant, and well-designed. Our photos came out gorgeous. Friends of ours are still talking about the gorgeous venue and how beautiful all the pictures came out. What stood out most was the team's honesty and transparency; nothing was hidden or last-minute. They even helped us make decisions that a typical venue would never get involved in, essentially stepping in like our own event planners when we didn’t have one.

I can honestly say I’ve never felt more taken care of by a company. One guest actually told me during the wedding, “I’ve never seen a more relaxed bride,” and that’s 100% thanks to Stefania and Arthur at the Riverview team. Their coordination, communication, and genuine care made our entire experience with them unforgettable. Truly blown away by Riverview and could not recommend them enough!!”

“A Museum of any kind adds to the backstory and the present status of any subject it enhances. So dies this one!
It starts with the discovery & establishment of NY, of the Boroughs, the inlets, outlets, the smuggling, the sacrifices and the horrific & uplifting incidences that make today possible here.

Then there is a cinema upstairs to connect us to all the diversity & color & cultures immersed here....bringing NY to life with snippets of films which feature NY !”

“I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Le Soleil NYC, and my experience was quite memorable! From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warmth and gratitude, making me feel genuinely welcome. Their friendliness was evident in every interaction, whether I was checking in or asking for local recommendations.

The hotel’s location is simply perfect; it offers easy access to many of the city’s attractions, eateries, and public transport, allowing for a seamless exploration of everything that NYC has to offer. This convenience truly enhanced my stay.

One aspect that truly distinguished Hotel Le Soleil was the outstanding service. Each staff member, from the attentive front desk personnel to the diligent housekeeping team, showcased professionalism and efficiency. Their genuine smiles and readiness to assist made my visit all the more enjoyable.

While I highly recommend Hotel Le Soleil NYC for anyone searching for a comfortable and convenient retreat, I did encounter a couple of issues. Firstly, I found the rates to be somewhat on the pricey side compared to other similar options in the area. Additionally, I noticed a persistent sewage smell in the bathroom that was quite unpleasant. The sofa bed in my room was another downside; it was uncomfortable and inconvenient, making my nights less restful than I had hoped.

Despite these drawbacks, the overall experience at Hotel Le Soleil NYC was positive, and I would still encourage anyone to consider it for their stay in the city, particularly for its exceptional service and ideal location.

Walkability: It's located in Bryant Park, very close to subway stations and the main attractions around NYC.

Food and drinks: I would not spend money on breakfast here; instead, walk five minutes and you will find many local coffee shops.”

“Nora made our baby showerVision come true! From the moment we went to see the venue she was kind and inviting. She understood my vision and went immediately to work. She responded to every email and phone call promptly and was always there to help along the way with any questions to ease the process. My guests loved the decor, the venue was clean and comfortable which is exactly what we wanted for our small number of guests. I cannot thankNora enough for her attention to each detail.Definitely recommend! Just bring your food and drinks!”

“Visited in last day and last moment before the museum getting closed after 20 years. Unique closing party with performance from traditional culture born from Himalaya. A lot of spectacular sculpture in this museum from 16-17th century when people spent decades to craft a master piece instead of leveraging 3D printer. Hopefully the exhibition will be available somewhere else in the world.”

“The Pixel Lab was super nostalgic! From the front, it looks tiny but they offer a lot. There were a bunch of classic video and arcade games and I love that it's only $25 for a game pass or pay per hour. The day pass includes unlimited all you can drink fountain sodas and seltzers too so you'll never go thirsty here. You can also bring your own bottle and/or food and watch movies they play on a projector on the back wall. My boyfriend and I had a great time here, especially playing classic games on the Nintendo. Highly recommend for a fun night out!”

“This venue has an antique elegance that doesn’t compare to another venue. It has a gorgeous layout that is perfect for an elegant event like a wedding or sweet 16. I highly recommend this venue. I had my sweet 16 here and the service was impeccable.”

“Lots of delicious options at the wide spread of food stalls. A diverse crew of people, students, families, and the rest of us taking a breather from our ordinary shopping chores.Fun to try new cuisines, excellent quality across the board.A little strangely laid out, but the confusion is part of fun.”

“Bric is awesome to its community. These people are aware, present, and capable. Providing programs, exhibits, markets, education, tools, space, community. I was honored to pop up with MFTA for BRIC, then I got hooked up on their classes and I can’t get enough. Thank you for providing such dynamic in a city that really needs it.”

“Comfortable seats with amazing leg room. The theater kind of needs a little tlc but clean.

*****Call Me Izzy - Excellent show and story. Leaves you thinking at the end. I was Johanna Day and she was wonderful.”

“Came here to watch a Knicks game with the Chicago Bulls. The arena is massive and always crowded but plenty of food options and restaurants. The service is always prompt and easy. Great ambiance for any sporting events or social gatherings.”

“Instructors for kids programs are excellent. 4 yo has been really enjoying going to class for the last year and looks forward to class every week. Skills progressing rapidly. Highly recommend”

“I was visiting New York for work (from the UK) last month and found 'Flowers on Essex' from a quick Google search and saw great reviews so thought I'd give them a go.
I bought a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a thank you for one of my organisation's volunteers. Bill and his team are so helpful and friendly. I was made to feel very welcome and had a lovely chat with Bill and team.
It's worth walking down 139-West 28th Street just to see all the beautiful flower shops. There used to be 45 wholesalers in NYC Flower Market - now there are just 8 (hotels keep buying up property in this area). So important we keep supporting these beautiful and unique flower shops!!! Do pay them a visit.
I really hope to go back when I'm in NYC again.

P.S. Don't miss the peonies :)”

“Midtown loft was great to work with the whole time! My wedding came out amazing. They were very responsive to anything we needed the whole year we were planning with them. Could not recommend this venue enough!”

“It is a place full of magic and history. Alanis Designer had the privilege of being present with her Quinceañera dresses in a photo session. It is a beautiful place.

Beautiful full of magic, impressive architecture, without a doubt one of the best places in New York”

“I had a celebration of life memorial here for my dad. The space was accommodating for our needs. The staff was friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I also liked that we had lots of flexibility and time with setting up and cleaning after the event. We had the space for practically an entire day. My only issue is that it took a few days to get my deposit money back. I took off one star away for that. The staff was friendly still. They apologized and fixed the issue. Other than that, it was a good experience. I’d recommend it.”
