On the eighth floor of Radio City Music Hall, there used to be (now defunct) a recording studio. This is where the Ramones recorded their first album in February of 1976. Put out by Sire Records, the Ramones self-titled debut was recorded in one week for $6,400. The producer was Craig Leon, and Tommy Ramone was listed as "associate producer."

Joey Ramone's mother, Charlotte, ran an art gallery called the Art Garden II adjacent to the old Trylon Cinema on Queens Blvd. The art gallery served as the practice space for the Ramones in their earliest days. "Mama Ramone" (as Charlotte was later called) was something of a matriarch for the Ramones and the fledging scene in those days, and was an advocate for the Ramones until her death in 2007.

The space features memorabilia, a cafe (Cafe Mania), and a venue for performances.
