I taste for a living so I notice when a room is lying to you. These are the galleries where the pour, I mean the hang, actually has terroir. Chelsea on a Saturday is a slog but worth it; the Lower East Side rewards the patient. Bring cash for nothing, bring eyes for everything.

Galleries worth the shoe leather — 5 items
Name	Neighborhood	Address	City	My take
1Hauser & Wirth	Chelsea	542 West 22nd Street	New York, NY	Cavernous and confident. Good for the days you want art to shout a little.
2James Cohan	Tribeca	48 Walker Street	New York, NY	Low light, serious shows, zero pretense at the desk. My kind of natty bar.
3Pace Gallery	Chelsea	540 West 25th Street	New York, NY	That staircase alone is worth the visit. Vertical like a tasting flight done right.
4Karma	East Village	22 East 2nd Street	New York, NY	Discreet front, no sign worth mentioning. Tiny-production vibes, I respect it.
556 Henry	Lower East Side	56 Henry Street	New York, NY	So small you question if you're allowed in. Always worth the squeeze.
