Make the most of your visit to the Herman Miller Pop-Up Shop in New York City’s Soho neighborhood by stopping by some of these local favorites.
New Museum: Take a 15-minute walk from the pop-up shop to the Bowery and then spend a few hours in Manhattan’s only dedicated contemporary art museum. 235 Bowery (at Prince Street), 212-219-1222, newmuseum.org.
The Daily: Stop by for a drink at this well designed new bar and restaurant, which showcases a different cocktail and dining menu every day. 210 Elizabeth Street (between Prince and Spring Streets), 212-343-7011, thedaily-nyc.com.
