The Park Avenue Armory may not be as large as the Jacob Javitz Convention Center, but it is also not as remote location-wise. My wife and I actually had tickets to see a performance of the Royal Shakespeare Company in the Armory (part of that summer's Lincoln Center Festival) but had to pass the tickets off to friends.

I have been here twice for the NY Print Fair and now the Winter Antiques Show. I wish I could have gone upstairs and really toured the building.

Ann Hamilton's installation at the Park Avenue Armory is a delight. The Armory by itself is worth a visit, but the swings and the huge curtain and, if you stay until near closing, the soloist way up high, the pigeons and the serene stillness makes this extra special.

If you're expecting a military building, you're mistaken. This place is beautiful inside with designs by Tiffany, Stanford White, and other notables. The give tours at 10am and have concerts, art exhibits, dance and theatre performances. It's well worth the visit.
