The Wu Tang PCA studio is located on the 3rd floor in an over hundred year old historical building “Germania Flats” on 2nd Ave, between E. Houston and 1st Street on the lower eastside of Manhattan, New York. 

The address of the entrance to the studio used to be 7 ½, now, it says 9.  It can be recognized by the fact that it is two doors to your right from a new Avalon Pharmacy.  When you arrive here to attend the classes, workshops, please call us at (212) 533-1751 from your cell phone or payphone on the corners of the street.  Someone will let you in, because this location has stood here for more than a hundred years without a doorbell.
