After you come to the Bureau to see Alice O’Malley’s Kenny Kenny 13, photographic portraits of the iconic downtown figure curated by Claire Fleury and Alesia Exum of Strange Loop Gallery (our charming hosts), and to check out our selection of books, zines, art works, tote bags, and tee-shirts, there are many other venues nearby that you will want to visit. Here are 5 of the Bureau’s recommendations. Three of them are on our block on Orchard Street between Hester and Canal Streets.
1. Cheeky Sandwiches, this charming New Orleans-style sandwich shop is just up the street from the Bureau at 35 Orchard St.
2. I Killed My Father, I Ate Human Flesh, I Quiver With Joy: An Obsession With Pier Paolo Pasolini.
I’m finally going to check out this exhibition at Allegra LaViola Gallery (179 East Broadway) today! I love Pier Paolo Pasolini. I love the title of this exhibition. And I love many of the artists featured in this exhibition. So much love.
