Dernier Cri

New York’s gallery scene keeps expanding beyond Chelsea and the Lower East Side; sometimes the freshest rooms hide in plain sight. Dernier Cri is exactly that kind of spot—an art gallery tucked above East 60th Street but sporting a restaurant tucked in right beside it. The street itself is quiet, tree-lined, and just a block from shoppers on Madison; if you need to escape the midtown detritus, this two-storey venue gives you art walls upstairs and plates downstairs. The building sits at 247 E 60th St, 2nd floor, so you’ll ride the elevator straight up and keep the walk short. If you’d rather talk through a visit, dial (212) 754-5957—it’s the simplest route to confirming hours or guiding a friend. When you’re ready to plot the trip, grab the map here, park once, and wander in without circling the block.
