Frieze New York opens on May 5, and in celebration, the spring 2017 edition of Whitewaller New York is out. It is there to guide you through the must-see and be-seen-at spots around town. This week, we’re sharing some “Insider Tips” from those in-the-know on what to see, do, and consume in New York during the fair. Below, we’re sharing tips from art collector Dayana Tamendarova.
WHERE TO EAT AND SIP
I love Kappo Masa for lunch and their genius gluten-free fish and prawn pasta. Wallse is my all-time favorite! I Sodi is the best Italian, and its sister Via Carota with their secret back room has the nicest food. Kurumazushi makes simply the best omakase in Midtown. Flora at The Met Breuer is excellent and open also for dinner.
WHERE TO SEE ART
For a small getaway, the Philip Johnson Glass House is definitely worth a trip to Connecticut. The Hispanic Society Museum has amazing work by Velázquez, El Greco, and Goya, including my favorite: The Duchess of Alba by Goya.
WHERE TO RELAX AND HAVE FUN
For nights out, Paul’s Casablanca has the best crowd and The Greenwich Hotel bar is the destination for a nightcap—only hotel guests allowed.
