At the junction of Greenwich Village, Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, is La Nacional, the old cultural center in the city. With live events, classes, authentic cuisine, art, music and more, it is a non-profit organization that supports the expression and promotion of a diverse diverse culture.
Since its foundation in 1868, La Nacional has served as a meeting point for political and revolutionary dissidents, avant-garde poets and artists, including the innovative director Luis Buñuel and the modernist poet Federico García Lorca, who wrote sections of his famous anthology “Poeta in New York “during his time in the Society.
