Welcome to Astor Center Rentals

"New York City has plenty of venues for professional food and beverage events, but none with the facilities of Astor Center."
D. DeGroff - Author of The Craft of the Cocktail and The Essential Cocktail

Located in the impeccably restored landmark DeVinne Press Building, Astor Center is comprised of three distinct spaces: the Study, the Kitchen, and the Gallery. Whether you are planning an elegant social event, a corporate training or gathering, an art showing, a filming session, or a host of other possibilities, Astor Center offers an array of exceptional options to create a memorable and effective event.
