Park West Gallery
411 W Broadway, New York, NY 10012
As one of the newest art galleries in SoHo, Park West Gallery wholeheartedly believes in the democratization of art. The two-story space holds some of the most historically and culturally significant pieces of art in the world, many of which you’d expect only to find in world-renowned art museums such as the Met or the Tate Modern. However, this art gallery is free and open to the public and allows for an intimate yet casual art experience!

Winemak’Her Bar
349 Broome St, New York, NY 10013, United States
We’d be remiss to not mention some sort of margarita pitcher on this list and The Garret Cocteleria does an exceptionally great one. With a funky, South American-inspired interior, this Mexican cocktail bar offers unique mezcal and tequila drinks that are great for splitting! Try out the Passion Pit made with tequila, Aperol, aquavit, sweet vermouth, passion fruit, and lime.
