Start in SoHo with The Drawing Center and make the Village the pizza stop. Continue west to the Whitney, then take a section of the High Line before returning to the Meatpacking District for Le Bain.
You do not need to walk the entire High Line to make this route work. Choose an exit that suits your evening and check park closing times. Museum tickets, pizza and nightclub entry are separate. Le Bain is 21 and over, with admission and music determined by the night’s programme. Check the door policy before making it your final stop.
The Drawing Center
Begin with a concentrated look at drawing in SoHo. Check the exhibition calendar before setting off.
Joe’s Pizza: Carmine Street
Make the Village the quick food stop. A slice leaves the afternoon flexible.
Whitney Museum of American Art
Continue west for American art. Choose the exhibitions you want and check ticket arrangements.
The High Line
Take a section of the elevated park, then return towards the Meatpacking District before closing.
Le Bain
End above the streets if the night’s programme suits you. Check entry conditions; this is a 21-and-over venue.
