Honduran Consulate in New York
The Honduran consulate in the heart of the Garment District
New York holds a very special place in the Honduran diaspora: this is home to the largest Garifuna (Afro-Honduran) community in the world, concentrated mainly in the south and west Bronx, around neighborhoods such as Crotona Park East. Every September, that community celebrates its Garifuna festival, one of the most vibrant cultural expressions of Hondurans abroad. The Consulate General of Honduras in New York is the reference point for all their procedures.
Since April 2025, the consulate moved to a new location in the Miller Building, in the heart of Manhattan's Garment District: 255 West 36th Street, 1st Floor (Suite 2). If you find the old address at 120 West 23rd Street online, note that it is no longer valid: always trust the updated location.

The Honduran and Garifuna community in New York
The Honduran footprint in New York runs deep and has a unique element: the Garifuna presence, descendants of the Afro-Indigenous peoples of Honduras's Caribbean coast. This community keeps its language, its music (such as punta) and its traditions alive in the Bronx, home to the largest number of Garifuna people in the world. Alongside them, thousands of Hondurans from every region of the country work and put down roots across the city's five boroughs.
For all of them, the Garment District consulate is where they renew their passport, get their consular ID, register children born in New York and receive consular assistance. Thanks to its central Manhattan location, it is accessible by subway from almost anywhere in the city.
