The Center for Fiction

The Members Lounge

Reading Room right entrance view

The Members Lounge

Our Members Lounge is located on our second floor, typically reserved for our members. One side of the space can be set with a conference table for up to 12 people, or rearranged depending on client needs. The remaining area features a comfortable living room with sofas, armchairs, and a divan. The room also includes a ceiling-mounted projection screen, built-in speakers and a sound system.

The Members Lounge may be rented in conjunction with the entire second floor for larger events such as weddings, memorials, and B-mitzvahs, and with our outdoor terrace during warmer months.*

The Center offers three meeting rooms on our quiet second floor. Each of our rooms has a conference table and chairs, Wi-Fi, and A/C. Refreshments are permitted in these spaces. White boards, easels, and other presentation materials are available upon request. Our largest room seats 14 people around a conference table, but can accommodate a few more guests if necessary. The remaining spaces seat 10.

The Terrace

Our second-floor terrace offers the perfect place for a small, private reception with a literary mural as your backdrop. Patio furniture allows for a casual, intimate feel.

*Please note that our terrace may be scaffolded due to the construction of a multistory tower in an adjacent lot.

The Auditorium

This flexible space can host seated events for 140 people in a lecture hall format, or it can be adapted for smaller groups.

We have state-of-the-art audio capabilities including a Behringer digital32 track mixer for precise amplification. A Planar VCS Video Wall fills the wall behind the stage for film screenings, presentations, and video conferencing. Recording equipment is available upon request. Note that use of A/V equipment comes with additional fees and staffing requirements.

Our auditorium seats are available with or without armrests, and four large conference-style tables are available for use. There is also a mobile lectern.
