A big thank you to Miek Coccia, who served as my friend and sounding board when I decided it was a great idea to write an entire book before presenting it to a potential agent or publisher. The same goes for Maria Krasinski, who I convinced to illustrate and have faith in said bookit has been an honor and an adventure to have such an amazing research partner. Im thrilled to have had such a dream team, thank you to my agent Lindsay Edgecombe of Levine Greenberg Rostan Literary Agency, and to my editor Shannon Connors Fabricant and designer Amanda Richmond. Thank you to Mr. Giles, who introduced me to Degas, Modigliani, and Seurat as a tiny first graderlittle did he know the impact it would have on my life! And to Dr. Morscheck who reignited my thirst for art history as a freshman at Drexel University. Id also like to thank Stephanie Hague, Rebecca Paul, and Sandra Lang for always being my willing companions on my research jaunts all over Manhattan, to Sailor Hicks for always bringing me a seltzer while I was deep in the writing process, to my parents for listening to me read my drafts over the years, and to Lauren Albrecht for being my partner in Art Nerd New York way back when. Thank you to The Wing Soho and Caffe Reggio for supplying endless cups of coffee and inspiration during my frequent writing and rewriting sessions. Lastly, and most importantly, thank you to Logan Hicks for being my endless source of support, encouragement, and love.

In loving memory of Gilbert Zimmer.

A lot of stars aligned to bring me to this page. Brightest among them, thank you to my friend and collaborator Lori Zimmer for trusting me to illustrate your vision. To our agent Lindsay Edgecombe for her sage advice and guidance. To our editor Shannon Connors Fabricant and designer Amanda Richmond for getting us. To my expanding constellation of family from Buffalo to Seattle to Tbilisi for your boundless support and encouragement. To my friends Celeste Peterson, Kelli Wilbert, Kaye Oberhausen, Chris Apap, Chris Cobb, Anja erc, and Tadej Muric for your reassuring messages, calls, and dog memes when 100+ illustrations seemed insurmountable. To the artists, art teachers, docents, and explorers who captivated and inspired this doodling shy kid to find her way of looking at the world. And to my favorite weirdo, Lenny Jackson. I miss you every day.

EXPLORING SOHO Artists first turned their eyes to Soho in the 1970s enticed - photo 2

EXPLORING SOHO

Artists first turned their eyes to Soho in the 1970s, enticed by the floor-through lofts and large windows of the former industrial buildings. Officially welcome yourself to Soho by passing by Forrest Myerss Wall, lovingly nicknamed the Gateway to Soho, then zigzag your way through the streets. Head down Greene Street and keep your head down to see Francoise Scheins Subway Map Floating on a New York Sidewalk embedded in the ground in front of 110. Make an appointment with the Judd Foundation at 101 Spring for an artist-led tour to see how Donald Judd lived and to take in his collection of art and rotating exhibitions. Now, head up to Wooster Street and stop by the corner where Gordon Matta-Clarks FOOD Restaurant (at the corner of Prince) fed Sohos bohemians before walking to number 141 (closed in summer months). Head upstairs to see the Dia Foundations fantastic preservation of Walter De Marias Earth Room. Finish your walk by heading over to 393 West Broadway to experience De Marias other piece, Broken Kilometer.

OLD OLD NEW YORK IN LOWER MANHATTAN

Lower Manhattan is a mesh of Revolutionary-era history, Minimalist public sculptures, and of course, thousands upon thousands of tourists. But braving the crowds is definitely worth it to take a spin through history. Lower Manhattan feels like no other place in the city. Theres Old New York herethe time of glamour, supper clubs, and evening gowns. But this is Old Old New York, where founding fathers roamed, worried about the British, and planned exit strategies through Governors Island. The artistic highlights may not reach as far back as the eighteenth century, but juxtaposed against the deeply historical architecture from that time, the contrast makes for an awesome way to spend an afternoon.

Theres a lot of ground to cover, so weve chosen a few highlights. First, head to the Financial District to immerse yourself in sculpture. Have a seat in the center of Louise Nevelson Plaza (73 Maiden Lane) to enjoy the monochromatic sculptures by that glamorous artist, then head nearby to One Chase Manhattan Plaza to marvel at Jean Dubuffets playful Group of Four Trees sculpture (its bigger than youd think!). Take a somber turn to honor those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks with the sculptures that became monuments after surviving the attacks themselves. First visit J. Seward Johnsons Double Check, which now sits at the northwest corner of Liberty Street and Broadway. Pass by Mark di Suveros Joie de Vivre in Zuccotti Park and head over to Liberty Park just south of the 9/11 Memorial South Pool and look up at Fritz Koenigs Sphere, which sits in the elevated park at 155 Cedar Street. Finally, head over to Coenties Slip and try to imagine James Rosenquist and others painting in an old sail factory that was considered the first artist loft colony. End your day, give yourself a break, and have a drink or snack in one of the restaurants along the picturesque Stone Streetjust a stones throw away.
