21 machines across five boroughs, and the machines themselves take four minutes each.
The rest of the day is the part nobody plans. So this is not a New York guide. It answers the question you will actually ask: I am in this neighborhood for a machine, where do I go before, between and after? Collectors, ambassadors and locals put this together, neighborhood by neighborhood.
Check Vault before you head out. Machines run empty and get restocked, and the status on each one is live. If you spot new prints in a machine, tell us, we love an update.
Meatpacking is such a fun area to wander because there is a lot packed into a few blocks. The Whitney has a machine, then walk over to Artists & Fleas and keep exploring from there.
Casa Next Door is great for coffee or a sandwich. There are a few spots to sit outside, but seating is pretty limited, so it works best as a quick stop. It's right next to Casa Magazines, which is its own shop, so make sure you go into the right one.
If you want a proper sit-down breakfast, Pastis is the move. For pastries, maman on Washington is an easy stop.
The High Line entrance is right at Gansevoort, so if the weather is nice, hop on there for part of the walk. You can also head toward the Hudson. It's right there and this whole area is so good on a sunny day.
The Standard Biergarten is so so fun, especially with a group.
Shopping over here is definitely on the high-end side, Hermès, Golden Goose and the rest, but there are also cute vintage spots mixed in. Barton Perreira has great sunglasses and there's a nice Sephora nearby too.
