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.

The Dutch: Hitting the shop early on a weekend? Call ahead to book a table for brunch at this hotspot and order its unforgettable hot fried chicken and honey-butter biscuit combo. 131 Sullivan St (at Prince St), 212-677-6200, thedutchnyc.com.

Boqueria Soho: If you’re shopping with a group, drop into this spirited spot on Spring Street to share some tapas (and perhaps some Sangria). 171 Spring Street (between Thompson Street and West Broadway), 212-343-4255, boquerianyc.com.

Saturdays Surf: Mix up your shopping day with a stop at this buzzy store filled with summer-ready clothes and accessories, art, gifts — and one of the best espresso bars around. 31 Crosby Street (between Broome and Grand Streets), 212-966-7875, saturdaysnyc.com.

Housing Works Bookstore: If you like the style of the vintage books filling the pop-up shop, swing by this destination to find some tomes to help you replicate the look at home. 100% of the profits from its donated book, music, and movie selections help people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. 126 Crosby Street (between Houston and Prince Streets), 212-334-3324, housingworks.org.

The Herman Miller Pop-Up Shop is located at 68 Wooster Street (between Spring and Broome Streets) and is open Monday through Saturday, 11 am to 7 pm, and Sunday 12 noon to 5 pm, through July 1.

ICFF is part of New York Design Week – a whole 7 days devoted to all things design. NoHo Design District blossomed this year, sprouting up just north of SoHo (hence the name!). Very convenient for feet made weary from a long morning at the Javits Centre.

Future Perfect on Great Jones has some beautiful work including new lights from Lindsey Adelman. Look out for an interview in the next week or two highlighting Lindsey’s Brooklyn workspace.


And, of course, you can’t ‘do’ SoHo without stopping in at Moss Gallery. Murray Moss never disappoints. His show this year is called Poetic License and includes some very cool pieces by Maarten Baas – including a charred Eames molded plywood splint. I asked about the splint and it sold for $38,000. It’s part of Baas’ coveted “Where there’s smoke…” series.
