The considered guideNew York
An afternoon on Manhattan’s west side
Start with art at the Whitney, take the High Line at your own pace, and keep a Village pizza stop in reserve.

Give the afternoon one main commitment. If it is an exhibition, let that set the start of the day and keep the next part flexible. A museum followed by time outdoors makes a satisfying change of focus.
The three places below are suggestions, not a timed route. Check opening days and current entrance access, allow time between stops, and choose what fits your energy. Practical details come from each place’s own record, so a change of hours stays attached to the place wherever it appears.
Whitney Museum of American Art
Choose the exhibition that draws you in. One considered visit is enough of an anchor for the afternoon.
The High Line
Step outside for a different sort of looking. Choose an open entrance and walk only as far as you want.
Joe’s Pizza: Carmine Street
Keep a simple food stop in mind if you continue into the Village. Check the Carmine Street branch before making it your next destination.
