originally a Center For Czech and Slovak immigrants has been well known as a diplomatic, cultural and social center since its grand opening in October 2008. Grandiosely re-opened after a complete and vast reconstruction during the period of 2003-2008, it became the seat of the Consulate General of the Czech Republic, the Czech Center New York and the Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association which is preferably referred to as BBLA.

The BNH is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and thus welcoming a wider public from the New York area. We are open for a variety of business-like, social and cultural events from around the world including conferences, panel discussions, receptions, networking events, concerts, readings, movie screening, and/or film festivals indoors and outdoors. We are here not only to promote Czech culture and traditions but we would like to introduce the multicultural character of the BNH as well. Such a concept goes hand in hand with a multifunctional character of the premises which makes them very attractive for our guests, event planners, corporations, associations, and also organizations of a different background. We have to say that their recommendation is our best reference.
