If the news had arrived on a day other than March 17, it would not have been as dramatic for the good folks at the Irish Arts Center on Manhattan’s West Side in the neighborhood that is far removed from its Hell’s Kitchen days.
The City of New York presented a temporary certificate of occupancy for its new home at 726 11th Avenue which now begins the months-long transition ahead from the venerable premises around the corner at 553 West 51st Street first opened to the IAC in 1974. Providing yet another glimmer of light for the august multi-disciplinary Irish cultural center, it comes after an incredible and challenging year due to Covid-19 and the universal shutdown it engendered.
