Art: Ryan Cobourn: Brooklyn Botanical
Show time: 5 to 7 PM; Through October 9
Venue: Fischbach Gallery
Food: Cookshop
Drink: The Half King
Miscellaneous: Café Grumpy

In the exhibition Brooklyn Botanical, artist Ryan Cobourn features his recent floral themed paintings. Cookshop offers American fare blending fresh and healthy ingredients. Try the Five Grain Risotto with Oregon black trumpet mushrooms, crème fraiche, and fried sage ($20). All wood and brick, The Half King is a great bar in Chelsea, minus the attitude its neighboring bars have. Grab a draft beer for $7 or a burger among other great menu items. If you’re fanatical about your coffee, Café Grumpy is your place to get some of the city’s best. The coffees are brewed to order and the espresso drinks are out of this world. I highly recommend this place.
