What can you do after visiting the Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery in NYC?

If you want to visit more art galleries, I recommend the Derek Eller Gallery, McKenzie Fine Art or the Marc Straus Gallery. If photography interests you, you should visit the International Center of Photography Museum. I also love the Tenement Museum, which shows you what life was like for immigrants in NYC around 1860. All spots are less than a 10 minute walk away.
