From the featherlight glazed best-seller to vanilla and chocolate frosted, these daily-made delights sell out quickly during the morning rush, so get there early to ensure your favorite isn’t wiped out."

"Lower East SideExhibition: Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in AmericaAs we continue with important conversations about the racism and injustices faced daily by Black Americans in this country, an exhibit at the New Museum brings further perspective to this shameful American problem. Opened recently, Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America, is centered around the idea that the racist violence regularly directed towards Black communities has made the concept of mourning a pervasive element in the lives of Black Americans everywhere. Featured in all three main exhibition floors of the museum, in addition to the lobby and public spaces, this intergenerational showing curated by Okwui Enwezor before his death in March of last year, includes the works of 37 artists across various mediums.How to visit: Purchase tickets for timed entry via website."

"The New Museum of Contemporary Art is a sight to behold: a seven-story stack of ethereal, off-kilter white boxes (designed by Tokyo-based architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA and New York firm Gensler) rearing above its medium-rise neighborhood. It was a long-awaited breath of fresh air along what was a completely gritty Bowery strip when it arrived back in 2007 – since the museum's opening, many glossy new constructions have joined it, quickly transforming this once down-and-out avenue."

The tenement at 97 Orchard Street on the Lower East Side was built in 1863; the one at 103 was built in 1888.
