The Church of the Heavenly Rest is a neo-gothic, Bertram-Goodhue-designed Upper East Side gem. Our historic building is conveniently located on Museum Mile – right across the street from Central Park - set between the Guggenheim and the Cooper-Hewitt Garden.

The flexible spaces here at Heavenly Rest are perfect for all occasions, large and small, including concerts, meetings, fundraisers, classes, holding companies, school graduation ceremonies, workshops, panel discussions, and receptions of all kinds.
