The Setting

The Upper West Side brownstone houses two reading rooms plus an outdoor patio on the first floor, with a plush 72-seat screening room and an art gallery upstairs. Below ground is the low-lit bar, nightclub and Mediterranean cafe, decorated with stone tiles and a curtained stage area.

The Scene

Since its 1999 opening, Makor--which became part of the 92nd Street Y in February 2001-- has attracted a youthful community that runs the gamut of religious (and non-religious) identities. Along with Sabbath dinners, funk-driven music nights, DJ parties and jazz brunches, any given week may also feature classes in yoga, creative writing, drumming and Kabbalah.

Season Permitting

Activities at Makor are not restricted to cultural events. The center also sponsors hikes, rollerblading excursions and white water rafting trips in the summer.

Handicapped Accessible

A curb ramp is located just outside the main entrance on 67th Street. Once inside the building, an elevator (with Braille signage) will provide access to all floors.
