New York Persian Cultural Center, also in business as New York Persian Center, is a cultural center and a house of brands. NYPC (in short) is an enlarged community based organization that connects Persians (Iranians, Afghans and Tajiks) and New Yorkers. As foundation, we provide language classes, cooking and dancing workshops and events.
