Fotografiska

In the heart of the Flatiron District, the Fotografiska gallery from Stockholm, Sweden, has opened a branch in New York. Vernika, a dining room and bar run by Stephen Starr, an award-winning Philadelphia restaurateur, is housed there and features three floors of exhibition space. Vernika, which takes its name from the patron saint of photographers, will serve food with influences from Northern French, Austrian, and Eastern European cuisines, all with a side of seasonality and sustainability. Executive chef Robert Aikens will be in charge of the kitchen.

The gallery organizes its own transient exhibitions of photographs by "grand masters and emerging talent," ranging from "easily accessible to hardcore conceptual."

With the goal of "inspiring a more conscious world through photography," the original Fotografiska opened its doors in 2010. Since then, 200 exhibitions featuring some of the most prominent photographers, including David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, and Sally Mann, have been held. This is unquestionably one of the best museums in NYC.
