About The Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center

The Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse at Lincoln Center is a self-contained, intimate loft-style venue nestled inside the Samuel B. & David Rose Building at 165 West 65th Street, 10th Floor, in New York, NY 10023. With 2,400 square feet of flexible space, it supports a range of events—from intimate performances to elegant receptions and seated dinners. Configurations are adjustable, making this space ideal for artist talks, meet-the-artist programs, diplomacy discussions, and culturally rich evenings inspired by Lincoln Center’s storied history.

While there isn’t a single public seating chart published due to the customizable nature of each event, capacities reflect typical configurations: up to 300 for receptions, up to 250 for performances, and up to 180 for seated dinners. Minimums may apply depending on setup, so we’ll help secure the right arrangement for your guest count.
