I can't comment on any services within the consulate, but the poster display was really cool, and of course I had to take a photo of each of the ten posters. The movies depicted were: Rosemary's Baby; Platoon; Star Wars; Terminator; Blue Velvet; Pulp Fiction; Blues Brothers; The Bridge on the River Kwai; Apocalypse Now; and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. My favourite poster was Blues Brothers. The consulate is a beautiful building, and near the entrance is a sculpture of a man on a bench, sitting beside a chess board. According to the plaque, it is Jan Karski, a Polish underground courier and resistance fighter in World War II. [Yelp collections: NY Christmas 2022]

My recent experience with the Croatian embassies in the U.S. was truly appalling. I first called…read morethe Croatian Embassy in Chicago at (312) 482-9902 to inquire about the process for voting in local elections in Dubrovnik from abroad. The male representative who answered was shockingly rude. When I asked for guidance, his exact words were: "I've never had anyone ask me that question in 12 years." When I requested a follow-up after he consulted someone, he bluntly said he had no time to waste on it. I asked for his name, and he refused to provide it. Hoping for better assistance, I contacted the Croatian Embassy in Washington, D.C. A female representative answered and informed me that I could only vote in presidential elections, not local ones, from abroad. When I politely asked for her name for reference, she responded by yelling at me: "Why are you asking me for my name?! What is your name?"--in a completely unprofessional tone. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and courtesy, especially from representatives of a national embassy. These positions should be held by individuals who are trained to assist citizens with respect and competence. Shame on you, Croatia, for allowing such poor representation abroad.

My passport renewal went smoothly and was relatively quick - 35 minutes total from the time of my appointment. I did have to wait an extra 20 minutes on top of that since I arrived early, but that was understandable. Some tips: - I noticed that there were some other visitors who tried to come in over an hour early and were turned away at the entrance, so definitely plan on coming here as close to your appointment time as possible! - If you are able to, you should definitely bring original and photocopies of all the required documents so that your appointment goes quick. There is a photocopy machine available, but I'm not sure how much the fee is to use it. - Make sure you bring cash since they don't accept card at the cashier. My only reason for giving them 4 instead of 5 stars is it was somewhat difficult to get questions answered prior to my appointment. Their main phone number would just play an automated message, and the extension line to the passport section would also just play a message since nobody was picking up. I think that this can be rather inconvenient especially for anyone who is traveling far (possibly even from out of state) to get to the Consulate.

But I was in New York and had to take care of some documents so, I figured, I might as well make an appointment and do it here. I followed everything listed on their website and made sure I had everything with me to take to my appointment. They're located near Times Square. I arrived 30 minutes early and they had just opened. People were already waiting in line and I thought I picked the earliest appointment available. There were chairs but not enough. They asked me what I was there for and was directed to go to the basement. I gave them my documents and I was told I was missing a document. Like how? Why didn't you list it on your website??? After going back and forth and trying to stay calm with the man behind the counter, I just left and booked an appointment in L.A. I brought the same documents and it was approved.
