The Brant Foundation
Downtown legends, ambitious shows, and giant industrial architecture combine in one of the East Village's most unexpectedly great art spaces. Warhol, Haring, Basquiat, Kelley — the Brant Foundation feels like walking through the last forty years of contemporary art history.
MuseumEast Village
Swiss Institute
Our go-to when we want contemporary art that's deeply thoughtful, beautifully installed, and quietly ahead of the curve. Part intellectual laboratory, part downtown sanctuary, it's one of the best places to spend an afternoon in the city.

From Lucie
For a little pick-me-up, there’s nothing we want more than one of Lucie’s cakes adorned with real flowers. Follow your nose to the butter-coloured yellow doorway.
