Update November 14, 2025:
Meta Lab makes it to the Big Apple! That’s right, our NYC pop-up location is now open at 697 5th Avenue. Swing by Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm ET, or Sundays 11:00 am to 6:00 pm ET.
Explore our AI glasses lineup, get hands-on with Meta Quest, and grab a little something at the coffee bar in the city that never sleeps.
Some highlights:
- Developed with Zoo York, our archival wall and timeline tells the story of NYC skate culture from the 1960s to today, through graffiti, rare film footage, artwork, original decks, and other visual artifacts.
- Our coffee shop features beverages from Buddies Coffee Roasters, founded by former pro skater Taylor Nawrocki and Rachel Nieves. Their signature drink is a vegan Coquito latte inspired by Puerto Rican heritage.
- You’ll find a multi-dimensional mural and art from pro skater Zered Bassett’s “Paper Skaters” series. His contemporary artwork captures the motion, grit, and spirit of skate culture.
- We’ve got gear and ephemera from woman-founded Rookie Skateboards, which has been championing inclusivity in the skate community since 1996.
- And Evan Mock, a multidisciplinary creative, brings his disruptor spirit to Meta Lab with an interactive gallery. It takes visitors on a journey through NYC skate culture as they unlock immersive stories and memories using our AI glasses.
