About Us

At Sixth Street Community Center, the day can shift from a class upstairs to a conversation in the hall, then to a community gathering that brings familiar faces back again. Located at 638 E 6th St, New York, this is the kind of place people return to regularly because it feels tied to the rhythm of the neighborhood, not separated from it.

People come here for connection, for shared purpose, and for a space that functions as both a meeting point and a local anchor. The setting serves as an event venue and community center, which gives it a flexible, active feel throughout the week.

It is open seven days a week, with weekday hours from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM and weekend hours from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

On East 6th Street, the center offers something increasingly valuable in New York, a place where community can actually gather, organize, and be seen.

"This used to be a very warm and welcoming space. There is new management, and they seem rude, exclusionary and downright mean (they literally kicked out a pinnacle of the building's management and history, and called the police on a peace loving and really, truly, beautiful person when he came to take his personal belongings and even plants that had belonged to his deceased wife). The former manager is one of the most lovely, beautiful humans. His family was involved in the building back to his grandparents, who were members of the synagogue that occupied the space before it became a community center. The new management seems extremely capitalistic. The building itself has beautiful features. However, if I had to choose a space to hold an event or rent space, this would no longer be it. It's so sad. Community centers should center around community, not capitalism. I hope they recognize they need to change."

"Nice space, but other patrons are rude. I’ve been coming here every week on Wednesday and recently found the door locked. I ring the doorbell, see people inside, but no one lets me in. One time I was outside for 10 minutes until someone else (a white man) came and rang the bell and they opened the door for him. Make of that what you will."
