The New York City Center, located in Manhattan, is a great visitor stop due to its unique, dome-shaped roof and wealth of dance recitals and other events that frequent the building. Along with being the annual host of the New York Flamenco Festival, the City Center presents a variety of special offerings ranging from the likes of the Gilbert & Sullivan Players and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
The New York City Center, built with a 54 foot tall dome roof covered in tens of thousands of tiles, was originally built as a meeting place for Shriners, but later came to host a number of performance arts events when the building faced demolition. Luckily, the interest in performance art helped save this historic and unique New York City Building. During your next visit to the area be sure to come support the fine arts with an entertaining night at the New York City Center.
