Union Square Kitchen is a daylight loft with a kitchen, a connected patio studio and a green screen studio nearby, rented for brand events, company gatherings, private dinners and shoots. It sits at 873 Broadway, in the Union Square and Flatiron area of Manhattan.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself for influencer events, brand activations, product launches, corporate gatherings and culinary showcases.

The connected Patio Studio can take breakout sessions, creative workshops or a dance floor while the main loft hosts the main part of the event. The site does not state a guest capacity, so ask for the figure that applies to your format and layout during the site visit.
Rooms and capacities
There are three studios. The Union Square Kitchen Event Loft is an open room with a 72-foot exposed brick wall, a 16-foot ceiling with a lighting grid, 15-foot windows with a blackout option and an equipped kitchen. A back room can serve as a makeup room, catering preparation or a production corner.
The Patio Studio, also called Studio 205, is next door and can be added to the rental. Its large room measures 25 by 35 feet, with 15 feet up to the grid. It has exposed brick, hardwood floors, a dining and lounge area, a kitchen, two bathrooms, blackout curtains, studio lighting options and a private outdoor patio. Wi-Fi and high-speed internet are available.
The Union Square CYC is a separate green screen studio with a 45 by 35 foot infinity wall, 14 feet high. It has its own kitchen, makeup station and private bathroom. It is described as a nearby option, mostly for productions.
Catering
Catering and bar service are available through the venue, with custom menus, wine pairings and service staff. The Event Services page also lists music and DJ booking, lighting, video and audio support, furniture and decor rentals, and an on-site crew. You can rent the loft as a bare space or ask the team to produce the whole event. The venue has hosted private dinners, graduation dinners and showers as well as brand events.
History and setting
The loft is in a building at 873 Broadway, in the Flatiron District. The same team runs Production Central, a video production company on the same floor, so cameras, teleprompters, lighting and grip rentals are on site. This is useful when a seminar or launch needs to be recorded or streamed.
Getting there
The address is 873 Broadway #205, New York, NY 10003. The Union Square subway station, served by the L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 lines, is next to the building. Guests arriving from out of town can reach the loft from the city's main rail stations by subway in a single connection or two.
Site visits are arranged by phone or email. The venue publishes a pricing sheet and a rental agreement on its website, which you can download before you call.
