Dia Beacon and Richard Serra, Then Tapas and PS109 in NYC
Dia Beacon is a museum in a former Nabisco box-printing factory where Richard Serra's massive sculptures fill light-filled galleries. La Candela Española on Staten Island and El Barrio's Artspace PS109 in Manhattan add contrast.



Dia Beacon is a museum in a former Nabisco box-printing factory at 3 Beekman Street, built for a slow, art-led visit. Vast, light-filled galleries give Richard Serra's massive sculptures room to register, Louise Bourgeois's pieces sit upstairs, and gardens extend the pause. General admission is paid, and the museum closes Tuesday through Thursday.

Sally Beauty is a beauty supply store on N 40th Ave in Yakima that makes self-care a focused errand. Its compact, organized floor brings brand-name hair color, nail care, styling tools and salon supplies within reach, and staff can suggest complementary color items without pushing one brand. It suits a quick DIY run or a dye fix. The trade-off is tighter inventory than larger branches.
