Next week is Frieze New York, where the spring 2017 edition of Whitewaller New York will debut. We’ll be there to guide you through the must-see and be-seen-at spots around town as well as the top exhibitions, restaurants, shops, and more to check out. This week and next we’ll share the “Insider Tips” from those in-the-know on what to see, do, and consume in New York during the fair. Next up is Dror Benshetrit, Principal at Studio Dror.
Where to eat and sip
The Linguine Alle Vongole at Bar Pitti is one of my favorite lunches. Rose Bar remains a go-to for cocktails, but The Bar Room at Tom Colicchio’s Fowler & Wells is quickly becoming my most-visited haunt. It’s set below The Beekman’s nine-story atrium— stunning.
Where to see art
I absolutely love The Met. With each visit, you can rediscover it in a new way. You can get lost in its endlessness. I’m on the board of MAD, and highly recommend a visit for those interested in the intersection of art and design. It’ll probably come as no surprise that the boundary-blurring work showcased by Pace Gallery is also a favorite. Is it art, is it technology, is it architecture?
Where to have fun and relax
I most often find inspiration and resolve when I’m on the move—walking through Central Park or running along the West Side Highway.
