Our story

A building from 1894, 
a venue since 2025

419 Lafayette opened in Spring 2025, inside an 1894 landmarked building on the corner of Astor Place. Karen Genauer, who ran Triangle Loft for years, and Albert Malekan, a designer and preservationist, kept the columns, the wood floors and the arched windows, and rebuilt everything else: two lofts and a rooftop.

Today it runs corporate meetings and brand activations during the week, weddings and milestone celebrations on weekends, with our own kitchen and bar team, AV on every level, and production handled in house.

Three spaces,
one continuous flow

The same team serves all three levels, so a program can move through the building without changing caterer. Cocktails on the roof, dinner on one loft, breakout catering on the other.
