WINTER OUTING GUIDE

It’s winter and it’s cold. Two facts as New Yorkers that we know all too well. However, that doesn’t mean you should be hibernating all season long. NYC & Company’s new Winter Outing initiative is designed to remind you to get out and enjoy the greatest city in the world – even in the coldest months. So bundle up and enjoy the city instead of Netflix and chilling. Here’s suggestions for what to do in Meatpacking:

Artechouse – You can always count on Artechouse for a thrilling experience no matter what the season is. On view until January 17th is Machine Hallucination, a returning exhibition created by Refik Anadol.
