Anything but an ordinary museum, in 2010 Fotografiska was founded in Stockholm and in late 2019 opened its newest outpost in a treasured, historic landmark building in NYC’s Flatiron District. The iconic NYC and Stockholm locations are complemented by expansion in Tallinn, and forthcoming museums in Berlin, Shanghai, and Miami set to open into 2023. Fotografiska’s goals are simple: to inspire a more conscious world through the power of photography, to bring people together, raise awareness and create positive change. The Museum showcases the greatest photographers, whether they are emerging artists or already established internationally.

Verōnika | Fotografiska New York

A gracious bohemian throwback to the 1970s - 80s era of storytelling, art, photography, and rock ‘n roll.

On the expanse of the second floor of Fotografiska New York, climb the grandiose staircase and enter a hidden den brought alive with layers of velvet, burning candles, greenery and music. Bar Verōnika is the enclave to enjoy a martini and crispy oyster bite in the salon, before dining in the restaurant. Beyond the Bar, lies Verōnika, an elegant brasserie paying homage to traditional restaurant theatre, with an eye for fresh and innovative dishes crafted with a light touch. A blend of high flavor table side service, sustainably sourced ingredients and a third act of sweet indulgence. A clear and concise by the glass list marries with old and new world method wines by the bottle, magnum and jeroboam.
