Rubin Museum of Art
one could spend months—years—at great art’s New York bastions (the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, the Frick, Guggenheim, Whitney), but this relatively new kid on the block is an exciting trove of works from the Himalayas and surrounding regions.
Haus am Checkpoint Charlie
Engaging private museum brings alive political tensions of the Cold War with Berlin as its focal point; includes tales of spectacular escapes from East to West; adjacent to the famous border crossing itself.
Tree
This charming bistro is named after the pretty street tree in front of the shop. They have a secret garden in the back. Also great for brunch.
Alchemy
It takes good chemistry to make things like like Gorgonzola-and-walnut ravioli and curry-battered calamari please the local palate, while the familiar atmosphere—including wood-hewn tables and iron light fixtures—keeps things comfy.
92 Y Tribeca
A cultural venue housed in a landmark building, with live performances, exhibitions. Everything at 92 Y Tribeca is as progressive as it is thought-provoking.
