A practical plan for this area

Getting there and back
The Drawing Center is at 35 Wooster Street. Plan the journey to that address first, then your hotel or restaurant. If you stay farther south in Tribeca, compare the actual station-to-hotel walk rather than treating the two neighborhoods as one stop.
Before you book
The Drawing Center offers free admission; check its current exhibition calendar and opening days. For Balthazar, use the official reservations and current menu to decide between breakfast, lunch and dinner.
If plans change
If the gallery is between exhibitions, keep the meal and local walk or move the art visit to another day. In heavy rain, avoid turning the optional Tribeca extension into a required cross-neighborhood walk.
