Beautiful venue! Have been coming here each year for skurnik wine tasting. Always a good time. Organised with very professional staff. Always a good time!
I went there for the New York coffee festival. I have a great time. The place is good, but could be better. So only 4 stars
Affordable Art Fair rocks this place twice a year!!
Easy to navigate small event center in easy to get to location. Have been there numerous times over the years. The layout offers easy check-in and inside is a great space for parties, exhibits, antique shoes, The Manhattan Vintage show, charity events and so much more.
Attended the Makeup show NYC with friends and we did have a great time here . Awesome ambience and great event place + wonderful experience ✅✅✅
Have attended several events here. Its a large space that others a variety of set up options. The bathrooms have always been clean while there.
The Metropolitan Pavilion hosted the New York Coffee Festival. It is a phenomenal venue. About 8,000 people attended the event in 2017. The venue handled the capacity well. Metropolitan Pavilion is well situated near public transportation as well as a variety of eating establishments.
Great location for special events from recent Italian wine tasting to Scope art show.
I was there for the NYC vegetarian food festival. Good space, they used both the downstairs and upstairs area. Good for large events
Great space to attend events.Great space to hold events.
Good spot , staff is friendly UNION GUYS arent as horrible as at Javitcs center. Highly recommended for a booth or tradeshow
Very spacious. A great place to consider renting for a wedding or conference. I dont know the cost, but it is a nice space. Also a quick walk from the #1 train station or under a 10 minutes walk from the #2/#3 trains station.
Great conference Venue. Very well laid out.
I was by a leather show today and ppl wearing coats with no identification asking me where is my vaccine card when I asked who they are they responded we are staff when I asked for ID the head of security came and was very nasty
Great event space located on 18th Street. Can be used for corporate events, parties and other affairs.
Came for the affordable art fair. Pretty fun time, and way cheaper than other events
I had a great experience here for Play NYC. They were very organized for entering, along with security. The bathrooms were clean and the show floor was very tidy.
We went to an art exhibition. Very nice
Perfect place for the real deal to book in the middle of the work week and during lunch hours so that they can attempt to make themselves relevant to the real estate work with people who are desperate to be in the media. Place looks like a correction facility.
Went to see the makeup show here. Everything was organized well and clean
Worked a shift here for housing works design on a dime.
Came here for the annual Denim Days event. Very professional and courteous staff managing a very nice space. Pretty great setup with a hall/welcoming corridor following the lobby, leading to a large space. Could definitely see why they hold the event there every year.
Very nice event venue.
Nice place for a convention...
Mediocre venue. Big room, nothing special. Was here for the oddities flea market (has a different rating).
A spectacular small venue in NYC. We went to a bridal show. The venue was extremely clean and the staff was well trained. The event staff were a whole different animal and the rules about dress code and attendees was overly lax. I cant fault the venue for the company that put on the event. Definitely worth booking your next event there.
This place is excellent for your party needs!!Its big, spacious and well thought. they can easily fit hundreds of people at once. The bathrooms are separated from the main room as are the service rooms and the kitchen, assuming they have one. This allows you to get away from the loud noise for a few minutes. Im not giving an opinion on the food since that was something that we provided. Im not really sure if they employ the catering personnel or they use a 3rd party, but the service was excellent. Two 👍👍for the security guards.I could easily give 5 stars to this venue, unnfortunately the Hawaiian theme was not up to standards.The bamboo or reed chairs were creaky and weak, and one of the guests had an embarrassment moment when her chair gave up under her weight.However, I find this minimal and easy to improve.
Excellent space. Beautiful and spacious
Have visited this space several times for the jewelry show. Easy to move around. Restroom clean .
This is a good event space. I attended a trade show here. The flow was good. The lighting good. The booths seemed to have plenty of space and amenities. The restrooms were clean. Three floors were used and there was an elevator as well as stairs.
Really Nice place for life events
Bathrooms could be better, they are basics. Exhibition areas are big enough for different kind of events. I think the staff is the better part of this place. Bartenders and catering in general are amazingly kind and educated.
Love the one hour time.This is for corporate eventsLarge, air conditioning is greatThe restroom was clean.
Nice location to hold a private event. I have attended multiple business events held here and had a good experience. The restrooms are generally clean and the food catered seemed of good quality. I do wish they would also offer a kosher option as well.
A nice place for this exposition. A large place to walk around. For New York, comfortable and easy to get in. The subway is close by and a short walk to both the east and west lines.Went to a display of crafts and then a quick subway line to the theatre.The bathrooms are only in one area and the show was a little crowded with vendors. Not much walking room. Other than that, very comfortable. I did not notice a coat check.
Great place for events. I was there for the NYC Encounter this year and last year. I also went for grad school/social work info session with different grad schools. It is very spacious. The audiovisual equipment is great.
Good event venue. Good location
Clean and big space, great and helpful staff. Corporate event was held here so Im not sure how to rate the food or DJ... But either way, food was okay and was kept fresh throughout the cold night, and music was great.
Nice place for small conventions
I recently volunteered here for Tasting Tables annual Lobster Rumble and I was pleasantly surprised at how massive the event space is. With so many attendees and staff, I was surprised the two bathrooms was able to handle so many people on the main floor. Their builders for the event were top notch - I couldnt believe they completed everything on time, beautiful workmanship and set up.Nice staff overall - took care of garbage quickly and great service.
I recently attended an event here and I though it had a great floor plan and the open space for the expo that took place worked very nicely in the space. They had nice hardwood floors, high ceilings, multiple bathrooms, coat check room available and a nice lobby area too. Great for large events to house hundreds of people.
Was here for a work meeting. The staff was very helpful. The meeting space was gorgeous. The bathrooms were very clean. The food offered was delicious as well, though I cant say if it was supplied by The Pavilion or not.
Great venue for all kinds of events--much smaller than the Javits Convention hall, which is a good thing: you can see all the exhibits in an hour or so and not be exhausted. Really enjoyed Renegade Crafts Fair, Vegan Food Fest, and others.
A big event space that has a check in space for coats, two sets of bathrooms and a lot of audio video clear walls to use. No windows but lots of staffers at the event cleaning up trash and keeping it organized. Also seen this used as an exam center, so multi purpose.
This place is massive. I was here for a vegan Expo were metropolitan pavilion hosted over 50 vegan vendors just on the first floor. They also had about 3 sessions were they had speakers with chairs. The second floor was half the size of the first floor, however it was still big. This is definitely a great spot for big events of any kind.
Beautiful venue for NEW YORK ENCOUNTER 2019. Suited the event well for music, talks, eating and presentations. The event staff working for the Pavilion were very professional and friendly. Look forward to attending events here in the future.
Yeah Ive been there a few times actually some beautiful events they have a great venue for if youre trying to have a party or have an established event its actually really good play centrally-located mcway parking but definitely centrally located and its a beautiful space
This space is gorgeous, and the staff are top notch!
Great place for a conference.
A fine and dandy conversation center in central Greenwich Village.
Located in Chelsea this event space is available to rent out for trade shows, weddings and receptions. It has nice wooden floors, white pillars stretching from floor to unfinished ceilings revealing the pipes and electrical works.I am not to thrilled when the room is set up and the pillars block the view of the screen.Been here for a few shows and find that the room doesnt flow so nicely when you walk back and forth, It seems narrow where the rooms connect.When I have been here for a trade show the pillars blocked tables making it kind of squishy.There are no windows or views and for me, there are so many places to hold venues that this one is a No for me.
Its a beautiful open space, if a bit drafty. All of the wooden floors give this open white space a glowing warmth, and you can bring in all sorts of large object with ease. Do not expect wi-fi when you attend an event there necessarily.
Went to get bib for NYC Half Marathon.
The place is fabulous for events. I attended the NY Make-Up Show.
Its a nice venue for large events -- the NYC Y Combinator meet up was held here, and there was plenty of space for what must have been a few thousand people. The staff were very friendly as well. The one drawback is that sound from other events or the hallways can definitely be heard in the main hall.
Went there for CFA exam. Kudos to the security staff who stood at the door telling people to mind the steps :) also the bathrooms were clean and sufficient for such a large event
Came here for the “I Love Playtime” expo. Great facility with wonderful room and lighting.
This past week in #NYC #uncubed event had over 30 companies coming to the event. I was blown away with the space and lighting. Since getuncubed event had two floors it was quite nice to walk upstairs or take the elevator. Would I come back YES!PRO- sound was great, the lighting was good and the bathrooms were cleanCON- The stage was not high enough on the second floor
Took my daughter there for the vintage clothing show and sale. Good venue for all sorts of events. Actually even found a free on the street parking spot. Dont think that ever happened in NYC before.
Here for a pop up sample sale.. The building is modem with a big elevator that leads you to any of the 8 floors.. The pop up shop was on the 5th floor. In the room there were several projectors, speakers and spot lights that could be used to illuminate paintings or pictures.. For the pop up they were used to showcase the 50 percent off clothing from last season as well as mirrors to see how you look in those clothes.
This venue is huge I have been here on 3 occassions. It is great to have a trade show here. One event I went to they had an airplane and Maserati inside. There is so much you can do with the space.
We had such a fun time at the Level for a Zagat Wine Tasting. The Pavilion was neat because the scene was fun inside and outside. Upon walking up the stairs we saw they were having a Pop Up Flea market with unique vendors mainly selling upscale mens merchandise. It was fun and people were nice. If you are in the area, it is definitely a place to check out!
This place has everything. 5 floors. Weird old-timey concepts of electrical wiring. Wooden floors. Columns everywhere. Endless coffee for 3 days each year. Stairs.
Very nice place and worth it to rent for your event.
The Metropolitan Pavilion is an event space on 18th St between 6th and 7th Ave, home to any variety of events. Ive been here for CE Week, Sheckys, fashion events, wine events, just to name a few off the top of my head. Based on vendor/booth setup, Im generally not a fan of the MP as the space is decently sized but not huge so crowd management can be a concern.I was here last month for CE Week and was instantly turned off by the mess of people, all vying for the same booths. Turning around and getting to other rooms was not easy, nor readily apparent as signage was inconspicuous. In addition to the main event room on the ground floor, there is a smaller but still spacious event room on a lower floor, accessible by elevators and stairs near the entrance.
Huge space with a friendly staff.
Interesting venue for events. If connectivity is required for a good sized group, you may want to supplement what the house offers.
Okay. Its official. I have Stendhal Syndrome. I become seriously overwhelmed by beauty and art.I was at Metropolitan Pavillion for the Outsider Art Fair. And theres the rub.Art fairs agitate my Stendhal Syndrome. Theyre overwhelming. The space itself? Meh. Its an exhition hall. It all depends on whats there.
Love all the events here. Wonderful staff. Professional. Kind. Coffee festival was fun this year. Hope to attend more events.
This is an excellent venue to host events there. I have attended a couple corporate events that have to do with the beauty and art industries, and both have been great.
Went to see the Outsider Art Fair. Nice large venue near the West Village. Work was well displayed. We had fun.
Always fun to go to an event here. Pepcom was great
Its a great place for a trade show no matter what business youre in
Metropolitan Pavilion is a gorgeous event space with multiple floors, lots of creative possibilities, excellently taken-care-of wood flooring, lots of white space, columns and tons of open space which makes events here a pleasure to attend and most likely very easy for users to execute whatever event they are envisioning.This space is totally suited for a corporate event that required polish and boring aesthetics, an awesome raging dance party/live show which requires snazzy lighting and a cool museum meets abandoned warehouse feel or something right in between.Ive been here for two different events. One was a Guinness Tasting which was flawlessly executed. Tons of free Guinness, regular and imported seasonals? Check. Free cheese, grapes, pretzels and peanuts? Lots o checks! A learn how to do a perfect Guinness pour station? Nope - there were actually TWO of these. Awesomepants.The other event I attended here (which was last night) was a start-up career fair...but it wasnt your average collegiate-type shin dig, it was like the Coachella/Woodstock/Burning Man/Mardi Gras of career fairs. Indoor skate park? Check. Puppies, champagne, cupcakes? Check. Photo booths, tons of free swag, central biergarten, warm freshly baked cookies, live canvas/oils art installations, bar, corn hole, free food? Multiple checkmarks here kids!Obviously Metropolitan Pavilion is whatever the event planner/sponsoring company(ies) make of it, but its a gorgeous space in a decent location that is in proximity to lots of transportation options (1, F, M, C, E and loads of buses like the M20, M4, M5, M6, M14, M23 and probably a few others) and Im giving them 5 stars for always providing me with a fantastic experience whenever Ive had the joy of attending events hosted here.
Bright and spacious area, good facilities and convenient location. Doesnt have great views to the outside, but that could be regarded as an advantage.
A bunch of models that were asked to attend castings showed up today, some had spent hundreds of dollars on air tickets to attend the castings and a security officer named Chris who owns his own modeling agency refused to allow models to enter the building. This is a huge conflict of interest. Them having someone attend to the door that owns an agency and preventing models from working is unethical and most likely illegal. The models work with the same designers in NY, Chicago, Dallas and Atlanta. Chris from EMG Modeling agency then pushed his models on the designers ONLY after asking to see emails from models showing scheduled castings. He would then refuse to allow models to enter the building and send his models to their castings. Shady way to do business!
Its too cold in the building.
Friendly ans lots of the usual artists
We have been attending the NYC craft beer festival in a different location and we are glad they changed it here, this venue feels very open and they have a bathroom attendant while the event is happening so they stay clean.
Great venue that hosts a slew of events. Ive been here for wine tastings, the chocolate show and most recently the hub for the NYC Half Marathon.
I loved visiting this place, It a nice elevator, the 3rd floor had an interesting fleamarket, and the 5th floor hosted the prestigious 2nd annual Zagat Wine Tasting Event. I recomend this venue to anyone. Awesome
Metropolitan Pavilion is a good place if you need an event venue. Unfortunately, its located in Manhattan and quite a trip from Flushing, Queens. Would recommend finding a closer location in Flushing, Queens.
Great event space and the spot of choice for the annual InternetWeek in NYC. However, the lack of free wifi service in this modern age for an event space is inexcusable. Otherwise, it would have garner a much higher rating.
Poured some beer here at a craft beer festival. Always a good time. Well staffed and good security. Small bathrooms.
Its really a large space which also connects to the Altman space next door. Restrooms are always clean and the staff is great.
Went for the Outsider Art Fair and really enjoyed it, been here a few years ago for the Affordable Art Fair which was also excellent‼️
Beautiful space . Lovely People. Great trade shows.
Went to a coffee expo there in Fall 17 and there seemed to be a lot of construction. The layout of the event also seemed very confusing and disjointed. Also, if youre not careful, looking at a map might take you to the wrong side of the building.
Attended The MakeUp Show NYC
Tons of different events, in all different industries, held at this location. If you need to take a lunch break, walk around the corner to Cafeteria for some delicious comfort food.
Great space! We came here for the Affordable Art show and really enjoyed it!
Greater than space with wonderfully catered food and an atmosphere that the wise the buzz of the city outside. Looking forward to returning again... And again... And again.
Still large enough to get lost but much more convenient than Javits or piers. Can extend to second floor also.
Great place for a venue
So much easier to get to than Javits Center!
Design on a Dime event was fabulous
Event space is nice. It is set up differently depending on the host. Its spacious and easy to get to.
I attended the makeup show here with friends. Lovely event place and we enjoyed ourselves.
I was here for Adtech in Nov 2017 and it was a basic but functional space for the conference. Really easy and convenient to get to or from
Excellent location. Nice staff. Good fir big events.
Very spacious event space. Lots of room and high-walls to decorate for just about any event.
Great event space - lots of wall space available, good lighting and layout
Went there for a art exhibit. Was pretty kool.
Every Spring Tech Geeks poor into New York Airports and Hotels for New York Citys thriving Tech Conference Internetweek New York and weve been apart of that scene since 2010 an Official Event Partner of Internetweek! The Perfect Business Marketing Affiliation collaboration allowing Businesses or Individuals to partner with the event freely to promote their involvement making for a Huge and Tremendous turnout, but, the current Public Relations Firm, PKPRNY has been handling the PRESS, Registration, Scheduling, etc... has a lot to be desired! No Personality: The contacts that we established a relationship with have left! Why? Perhaps the growth so quickly has stifled the manners of the Go To People of the PKPRNY! 2013 was the worst internetweek since our involvement! Lets do better PKPRNY Cant get yesterday back. What youre gonna do with today because tomoorw isnt here yet?
The event I attended was on all levels. It was difficult to navigate. However, it was located in a lovely part of the city.
I had the best time at the Taste of the lower eastside event! The Pavilions staff was extremely helpful and friendly
Some of the stalls in the womens bathroom had no toilet paper several times when I was attending a 2 day event
We went here for Cat Camp. It was a nice, clean venue and we had a great time.
Affordable Art Show isnt so affordable anymore, but the space is great.
Great event! The head of Security was amazing!!! I will be back next year ISHAGIO MYST!!!
A great place for events! Very pleasant staff.
Great venue, Went there for the craft brew festival and noise absorption was great.
Conveniently located event space. Sometimes theres a line for an adjacent building on the sidewalk. It can be a bit confusing, so be sure that double check.
Good location and event space in NYC. Great for corporate events and celebrations
Was an Art show my company had a contract with. the place is great for events.
I usually come when they have sample sales here. There are usually lines (both to get in the building and to pay) but deals to be had if you have the time and patience.
Was here for VegFest 2016, the venue is small and has little room for the speakers seating. hard to hear the speakers.
Great for some events, like exhibitions, not so great for screenings as the main room has columns that obscure the view.
Its big, open, and has lots of bathrooms—exactly what you want from an event venue.
Its a big empty space for an event to arrange how they need.
A great place with an ideal location .The opportunity to transform the room into what you want it to become is golden.
Large space for conferences and meetups. Loved the setup for the Interaction 17 conference.
Good space for events, the bathrooms are a bit out of the way from the event floor.
The wedding Salon showcase here was great.. really packed
Always beautifully decorated and well staffed and clean every time I visit

Nah humbug my friend had a special event there today she said it was fun so I liked it.
Went for an event. The space didnt feel or look like anything special. Just a large open space.
Very beautiful venue with 4 different floors to use.
Good, flexible, events venue, reasonably centrally located.
Good size for trade shows. Air conditioning/heating system not so good.
Great place for events. Was here for the More Half Marathon expo.
A large historic building within trendy Chelsea which caters to events such as arts and crafts 😀

Pillars in the presentation room get in the way of some seats. Otherwise a pretty decent venue.

Great venue for a conference, decent acoustics and atmosphere.

Nice clean venue. Hard to load in and out, but always hard in NYC
My favorite place to volunteer at the Affordable Arts Fair!
Was here for a Pepcom event and it was very well done. Great space.
Great place to visit at least once on your trip to #TheBigApple
Very nice space for events with good facilities.
Is big, clean, security, and open bar 🍸. I was here for my company party. And close to the 1 train.

Nice place. Well located; easy to find using the map.
Great open set up
Conveniently located and spacious event venue, though AV support can be hit-or-miss
Very nice place to hold an expo show.
The 2019 NYC Outsider Art Fair was awesome!
Expect to pay double of what they quoted you over the phone. Bad bait and switch practice.
Fabulous crafts fair with very talented artisans!
Had an event there, no help but lots of room and clean
Went to the Indie Beauty expo. Great venue!
Great wide space for exhibits. Down the block from the 1.
Nice space, a bit small but intimate.
Awesome!!! Went to a bead show there. Well organized.
This event space is magical and wonderful and old.
Great venue to hold fashion shows at
Japan Food Resturant Expo.... Super great expo
This is the best place for pop up events and siminars in NYC.
Too cramped for a pleasurable experience but the vendors are there.
A fine event space that has gotten more accommodating.
It’s fairly unimpressive but no complaints I suppose
Great convention site
A beautiful space but a little tough to find.
Amazing concert venue with great sound quality
Amazing venue@HueAffiar Natural Hair Event
Decent spaces for corporate events or shows
Nice large space. Great for conventions.
Great space for events in lower Manhattan.
Brilliant location for Play NYC
A nice modern clean cut venue.
Trade show event space trade only depending what a person is attending.
Here all the time for technology trade events. Professionally run.
Big venue, but it can be decorated better

2020-03-01Good place for an event and gathering. We went to a food event for one of the big distributors of me in the city and it was quite a nice event with great space to put all the different exhibitors as well as a place for Ben so they can perform.

2021-12-12I went to an oddities fair in this venue, and it was very nice. The fair itself was a sight to be seen, but the spaciousness of the venue was a sight to behold all in itself. It’s a short walk from the subway, and is in close proximity to a few great eateries in the district. If you are looking for a place to host an event, I’d recommend putting this venue on your list.
