Cremorne Gardens, New York City

Nixon's Cremorne Gardens was a pleasure garden and music hall in New York City, New York, located on Fourteenth Street, featuring a Palace of Music, an equestrian school, and a hall of floral.

American circus proprietor James M. Nixon opened New York City's Cremorne Gardens on June 9, 1862.

[4][5] Three new features were developed on the property: an equestrian performance area, a floral hall displaying trees, flowers, and shrubbery, and a music hall dubbed the Palace of Music.

The season at the Cremorne failed to meet expectations set by extensive advertising, as high refreshment costs and poor weather impacted attendance.

The initial crowd of nearly 3,000 dwindled after the first week, and efforts were not renewed for another year.
