Beaux-Arts grandeur, literary legacy
The New York Public Library
Fifth Avenue, Manhattan
About This Venue
Few settings rival the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, the Beaux-Arts crown of Fifth Avenue, where guests ascend candle-lit marble steps past the famed lions into Astor Hall's luminous white marble entranceway. The Celeste Bartos Forum, with its 30-foot glass-domed ceiling, hosts galas and wedding receptions of singular splendor — and every event supports the Library's collections.
