Walk in With Us
Eat Offbeat Café at Atelier Jolie (yes, Angelina) is one of those rare places people actually come to talk. Founded by siblings Manal Kahi and Wissam Kahi, the cafe is bright and white, softened by vintage furniture, shelves of art books, and chessboards.
The menu reflects the mission at its heart. Eat Offbeat employs refugee and immigrant chefs from around the world. You might order a cardamom pistachio latte, Venezuelan hot chocolate, baklava, or Turkish coffee strong enough to set the rest of your day alight.
Everyone seems to know someone, giving it more of a salon feeling than your average café.

Atelier Jolie
As in Angelina. Basquiat’s former studio has been reanimated by the superstar actress into an impeccably designed living room/café concept and gallery.

Dear: Rivington+
Wander two stories where Japanese designers nestle against vintage treasures, all set off by spare, whitewashed walls.
GalleryNoHo
Eric Firestone Gallery
This gallery stages beautiful shows that make overlooked art histories feel urgent again. Psychedelic mosaics, hard-edge abstraction, gestural figuration, and under-recognized American artists, many from the 70s, thunder back into the spotlight.
