New Museum of Contemporary Art
Regularly changing exhibitions by contemporary American and international artists. Offbeat and eclectic, the New Museum will mount risky works that other museums are unable - or unwilling - to show. Pick up the museum's calendar for details on current and forthcoming exhibits and lectures. 583 Broadway (between Prince and Houston St). Wed & Sun noon-6pm, Thurs-Sat noon-8pm; $6, students, seniors and artists $3, under 18s free, free Thurs 6-8pm; phone 212/219-1222, www.newmuseum.org. #N or #R to Prince Street, or #6 to Spring Street.

Prince Street
SoHo celebrates its architecture in Richard Haas's smirky mural at 114 Prince St (corner of Greene St), also the venue of one of SoHo's affordable markets (there's another at the meeting of Spring and Wooster streets). Many of the clothes and antique shops around are beyond reasonable budgets, although Prince and the other SoHo streets have their fair share of chain clothing stores you'd find in any reputable mall. Bargain treasures and pure bric-a-brac can also be found at the Antique Flea Market , held every weekend on the southeast corner of Grand Street and Broadway.

What you'll find in SoHo's galleries is similarly overpriced, but no one minds you looking in for a while, and doing this is also a sure way of bumping into the more visible eccentrics of the area. Most of the galleries are concentrated on West Broadway and Prince Street, though a fair share have opened on Grand between West Broadway and Broadway. They're generally open from Labor Day to Memorial Day, Tuesday-Saturday 10/11am-6pm, Saturdays being most lively.
