The Thomas Crown Affair
Crown Heights, Brooklyn
A magnificent five-story Beaux-Arts museum building on Eastern Parkway, offering a range of architectural settings for events and productions. Its principal event court is a 10,000-square-foot, two-story atrium rising 60 feet to a dramatic skylight, surrounded by original archways and a wrapping colonnade. A modern glass entrance pavilion added in 2004 provides a contrasting setting, while a 4,700-square-foot auditorium accommodates screenings and presentations.

Tungsten’s Take
The Beaux-Arts Court is one of the great event rooms in New York — regal, luminous, and steeped in history. Photographing beneath that skylight, surrounded by colonnade and chandelier, is something your guests won't soon forget.
