Welcome to Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC). In addition to the exciting artistic programming that we present and produce in our theaters, we also present year-round programming including free and Pay-What-You-Want entertainment ranging from family friendly performances on the Clare and Vartan Gregorian Lobby Stage to thought provoking events developed with our programming partners. An original concept restaurant by Chef Marcus Samuelsson, a public bar and outdoor terrace provide exciting new gathering spaces for you to enjoy while in Lower Manhattan. We invite you to our lobby and restaurant spaces before or after a show, for a lunch or coffee meeting, or at happy hour. Our Space is Your Space.

Our Restaurant
PAC NYC is home to the latest restaurant from visionary chef Marcus Samuelsson (of Red Rooster, Hav & Mar).
Designed by Rockwell Group, Metropolis by Marcus Samuelsson offers a warm and welcoming dining and lounge experience, including a bar and outdoor terrace, throughout PAC NYC’s lobby level. The menu draws inspiration from the diversity of the five boroughs defined by generations of immigrants and honors the convergence of cultures throughout the great city of New York.
