Make a visit of it

The exhibitions focus on NYC architecture and urban design -- perfect if you're curious about how the city is built. Small gallery but thoughtful shows. Right off Washington Square Park, so combine with a stroll.

After: Joe's Pizza (pizza, $3-6). Carmine St, 5 min walk. The quintessential NYC slice. No frills, no nonsense, just perfect cheese pizza.
