ANGEL ORENSANZ FOUNDATION

The beautiful spirit of Fat Friday is in part due to our stunningly gorgeous venue, the Angel Orensanz Foundation. Located on NYC’s Lower East Side, this neo-gothic masterpiece was built in 1849 and is the oldest surviving synagogue building in New York City. Purchased by sculptor and painter Angel Orensanz in 1986, the building was designated a historic landmark by the City of New York in 1987.
