Terrace On The Park
Nicole Hartlett's Company Details
Terrace On The Park, an iconic element of New York's landscape for over a half century, has just completed a major five year facilities initiative. Encompassing an extensive range of structural upgrades, renovations, and state-of-the-art technical enhancements, the $9 million improvements program is the largest in the history of this registered landmark, which has served as the city's most recognizable special events venue for more than two generations. Originally constructed as a restaurant and heliport for the 1964 World's Fair, Terrace On The Park is a marvel of Modernist design, with its signature T-shaped towers soaring 120 feet above the fairgrounds, now Flushing Meadows Park. In the decades since, this imposing "aerial gateway" to New York has become a treasured part of the city's skyline – and the lives of its people. When the Beatles made their US debut at Shea Stadium in 1965, they first arrived here, landing on the Rooftop helipad. In the early ‘80s, Madonna worked as an elevator operator at Terrace On The Park, before becoming a world-renowned attraction in her own right. Since 1964, every incumbent New York City mayor has visited Terrace On The Park, along with presidents, prime ministers and monarchs. However impressive, these bold-faced names are only footnotes in a story that is, more than anything, about celebrations, with Terrace On The Park serving as the spectacular setting for thousands of memorable weddings, parties, proms and corporate events.
