Hungarian House of New York, Hungarian cultural center in Upper East Side, Manhattan, United States.

The Hungarian House of New York is a cultural center on the Upper East Side dedicated to preserving and promoting Hungarian traditions. The multi-story building on East 82nd Street houses spaces for events, a library, and educational programs serving the Hungarian community.

The building was purchased in 1966 by five Hungarian founders after it had served as a training facility for the German sports club Central Turnverein. This purchase became a turning point for the Hungarian community, creating a permanent home for their cultural activities.

The János Arany Hungarian School operates here, where people learn the language and experience traditions. Concerts, exhibitions, and folk dance performances happen regularly, showing how Hungarian culture remains alive in the community.

The house stands at 213 East 82nd Street between Second and Third Avenues on the Upper East Side, reachable by the 4, 5, 6 and Q subway lines. The János Arany Hungarian School and kindergarten meet on Saturday mornings from 2015. The library holds 6,500 lendable books, and its archive collects the history of Hungarians in North America.

Three non-profit organizations share ownership of the building and have contractually agreed to keep it dedicated to Hungarian culture and scientific work. This unusual ownership structure ensures the house maintains its original purpose for future generations.
