    The armory is a really interesting, unique event space. I attended the New York Craft beer festival there and found the space fascinating. The festival was awesome with an incredible selection of beer to try, though the hired out bartenders knew surprisingly little about the beer they were serving for the most part. Event staff was even nice and let us in early to wait in the heat on a frigid day. The space itself is really cool, it feels like the inside of an airplane hangar decorated with decorations from the regiment that is based here. There are even some cool display cases with missiles and stuff by the bathroom. Awesome place for an event.

    This is a national guard armory for the fighting 69th. Also known as the 69th infantry. I go here for drill one weekend a month. It’s a nice historic building that’s going through a lot of renovations due to bad infrastructure and asbestos, but that’s expected of any old building. This armory has a huge drill floor used for parking our vehicles, and has a museum of sorts regarding the history and origins of the fighting 69th. I don’t know if civilians are allowed in to explore the museum, but it’s worth a shot to look at if your into military stuff.

    Great place with decent food. Some guy kept yelling at me and making me do push ups though.

    I recently visited the 69th Regiment Armory for the Village Voice Choice Eats event. The venue is huge and offers plenty of space for all types of events. There was adequate space for people to cool off in the front, as well as a coat check and restroom. I definitely hope to go to more events here - if they're anything like Choice Eats, then they're out of this world!

    The 69th Regent Armory is a great event space. It’s a huge area ideal for tradeshows, art exhibits, large scale events. But really your imagination with it is limitless. I have seen the space used poorly and I have seen it turned into a wonderland. The building itself is filled with history so if you ever have a chance to check out the artifacts in the front room before you enter your event, please do so.

    Great place to go for a tour down memory lane. Solely military history only, but still cool for anyone curious.

    Historic location. We had a room with great bartenders for our private party. Everyone shared the holiday spirit.

    I like the vaste amount of space this place offers. I have been to this venue many times for festivals (NYC Craft Beer Fest, which is seasonal and Wine Riot). The staff who maintain this place are usually pretty cordial especially with the number of people who attend these events (over 200). What I despise is that they only have 4 stalls in the women's bathrooms, 6 stalls in the men as well as 6 urinals. With hundreds of people drinking mass amounts of liquids it can get messy.

    Historical and nice but I’d not open to the public. May also be better that way.
