About Queensboro Elks Lodge
The Queensboro Elks Lodge on Queens Boulevard in Elmhurst is a site rich in history and community spirit. The main building at 82-10 Queens Blvd operates as New Life Fellowship Church, while the annex at 82-20 Queens Blvd and the basement host Lodge 878 activities and select events. This combination creates a unique, accessible venue experience that honors the past while serving current community and event needs. The property is a New York City Landmark (NYCL) and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, reflecting its significance in local culture and civic life.
Whether you’re planning a one-off event or simply want to explore a piece of New York history, we’ve got you. Below you’ll find practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotels and dining to help you secure your seats and plan your visit with confidence.
Seating and space: Historically, the site featured a theater configuration with a substantial capacity and a larger main meeting hall suitable for a wide range of events. Public seating configurations are documented in historical and ticketing resources, and current use often involves smaller, flexible setups in the annex/basement for Lodge activities and select events. If you’re organizing an event, contact us to confirm the exact seating layout for your date and room assignment.
Parking: The lodge sits on a land lot with on-site parking remnants. Availability varies by event and time, so plan ahead. If on-site options are limited, nearby surface lots and street parking in Elmhurst are common outside peak hours.
Transit: The venue is conveniently near Grand Avenue–Newtown (R, M lines). It’s walkable from the Grand Ave/Newtown stop, and multiple bus routes serve the area. If you’re driving, consider arriving early to secure parking, then take transit for a relaxed arrival.
