Nothing sparks post-exhibition musings more than a good glass of wine. Follow the emerald doorway to this cozy wine bar. If you bed in long enough, you may as well get a burger, too.
Catch a little whiff of California in the center of Dimes Square. Locals flock to this corner spot for coffee, cocktails, and Hangover Wraps before (or after) hitting the galleries of Henry Street.
One of the Lower East Side’s most influential and unruly galleries. Run by artists, two decades in, and the reason a lot of other galleries are here. Art here breaks the rules with intelligence and lashings of style. Essential viewing.
