Council for a Secure America

North of the Museum Mile, between tree-lined blocks and prewar apartment houses, the Council for a Secure America sits a few strides from the elevated trains that hum above 5th Avenue. Here, an organization focused on defense policy connects with journalists, diplomats, and think-tank researchers in a narrow but busy stretch of the Upper East Side. Their address—45 E 89th St, New York, NY 10128—places them inside a brownstone row, steps from the corner grocer’s fluorescent sign and the constant jingle of bike locks on Madison Avenue bikes.

A call to (917) 703-1599 reaches staff who keep briefings and public forums on missile defense and cyber threats moving. Across late-night insider blogs and morning policy roundtables, they circulate reports that often show up in Thehill, Foreign Policy, and the Sunday editions of East Coast papers. Need to drop in? Their map is at directions.
