Location
We are located on Audubon Terrace, between West 155 and West 156 Streets on Broadway, in Washington Heights. Enter through the large gate on Broadway flanked by Boricua College and the Hispanic Society. Arts and Letters are at the far end of the terrace.
The terrace walk to Arts and Letters is the length of a full city block, and visitors must traverse a stairway with 15 steps to reach our campus. We invite visitors in wheelchairs, baby strollers, or with mobility concerns to use our administrative entrance at 633 West 155 Street, which has an elevator and an on-site wheelchair. Please call
