In The Area
GalleryLower East Side
Spencer Brownstone Gallery
A serene gallery on Suffolk Street where industrial bones meet contemplative quiet, and the art slows you down.
Art StoreLower East Side
Montana Shop NYC
The flagship of this sprawling art supply store. They’ve been selling art supplies for over 20 years. This is where the best graffiti artists come to get their cans.
Clothing StoreLower East Side
7115 Szeki
Named after its Hong Kong-born owner and designer Szeki, this is the store for inclusive, highly-wearable clothing that’ll see you through the NYC seasons. Good pants, big jackets, clever detailing.
RestaurantLower East Side
Balvanera
Grab a sunny spot under the awning for Argentinian steaks and family-style dishes. A crowd pleaser, where you can actually hear your dining buddy speak.
