DromNYC
The DromNYC mission is to celebrate cultural diversity in the performing arts field by providing a physical space for artists from around the world to present their music, art and creative experiments.
From our nest in downtown Manhattan, we bring together a local & global community of like-minded individuals to share art & culture that transcend genre, class, race & geography.
DromNYC programs span diverse artistic forms including music, dance, theater, comedy and its stage is open to the next generation, as well as established performers.
We serve delicious small plates from several countries including Spain, Turkey and Italy. There is an eclectic wine list with wines from expressive vineyards from all over the world. Then there is our delicious cocktail list and liquors.
From the Romani Gypsy language,“drom” translates into English as roughly, “the journey.”
When Turkish entrepreneurs Serdar Ilhan and Ekmel Anda opened the club in 2007, they hoped to create a meaningful hub for both artist’s and audience’s journeys reflecting the cultural diversity found in its programs.
