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.

Echoing the old school coffee bars of Spain and Italy, this place has been serving the neighborhood since 2007. Go for the olive oil cake and coffee in classic NYC cups.
