ures, including pieces by Henry Darger (known for his girl-filled battlescapes) and Martín
Ramírez (producer of hallucinatory
caballeros
on horseback). There is also an array of
wood carvings, paintings, hand-tinted photographs and decorative objects. There are gui-
tar concerts on Wednesdays and free music on Fridays.

Zabar's
Gourmet goes kosher at this sprawling local market, which dates back to the 1930s. Drool
over heavenly cheeses, meats, olives, caviar, smoked fish, pickles, dried fruits, nuts and
baked goods. Don't miss the pillowy, fresh-out-of-the-oven
knishes
(Eastern
European-style potato dumplings wrapped in dough), an enlightening antidote to the
frozen, stock-standard industrial variety sold by street vendors across the city.
