The 92nd Street Y's new downtown home officially opens its doors Oct. 18 and will feature music performances, film screenings, discussions and social events.

"With 92YTribeca, we are creating a downtown cultural hub for the 20-something set, where a night out is empowering and inspiring – as well as lots of fun. By day, we hope it will be a home away from home for adults of all ages to learn, socialize, explore – and eat some amazing food," Sol Adler, executive director of the 92nd Street Y, said in a statement.
