Make a visit of it
The Sky Room on the 7th floor has floor-to-ceiling views of downtown. Most people stop at the galleries below and never go up. The building itself -- stacked white boxes by SANAA -- is worth the trip.
After: Prince Street Pizza (pizza, $5-8). The pepperoni square at the Bowery/Prince location. Cash only, worth it every time.
