Membership Benefits

The physical setting of Quest is a major benefit. Quest shares a floor with the City College of New York and Brooklyn College in the historic Cunard Building at 25 Broadway, built in 1921 as the New York headquarters for the Cunard Steamship Company,

The building is just steps from lovely and historic Bowling Green Park at the tip of Manhattan and within a block of Battery Park. It is surrounded by a wide variety of historic sites, including The Museum of the American Indian, in the former US Customs House, Fraunces Tavern, The Museum of American Finance, as well as many restaurants and shops.

  • Special Guest Lectures.
