Menno House

Non-profits in the city often fly under the radar, but Menno House has been quietly anchoring its corner of Gramercy for decades. Peace-focused hospitality isn’t just a tagline here—it’s the daily rhythm at 314 E 19th St, New York, NY 10003, where the building doubles as both office and guest residence.

They operate on a simple premise: affordable lodging paired with community programming. Workshops on conflict resolution, shared meals, and volunteer-led neighborhood clean-ups are part of the calendar. The space also hosts visiting activists and scholars, turning the address into a temporary hub for global conversations.

Gramercy’s tree-lined side streets make the location feel removed from Midtown’s rush, though the subway is only a five-minute walk. Reach them at (212) 677-1611 if you’re curious about room availability or upcoming events. No frills, just a phone call away.

Directions are straightforward—map here. The block itself is a mix of pre-war walk-ups and small storefronts, the kind of stretch where you’ll spot more bikes than delivery trucks.
