Good morning. There’s nothing like a coffee and a treat after seeing a great exhibition — but at what cost? Today, Staff Reporter Isa Farfan asks exactly that as she rounds up the least and most affordable museum cafes in New York City. Check out where you can get an expensive canned cocktail, World’s Fair-themed waffles, and yes, a relatively well-priced cup of joe.

Speaking of which: Have you done any holiday shopping yet? If not, avoid the gimmicky Black Friday discounts and shop local artists. Matt Stromberg has a roundup of fun, original, and reasonable options from LA, from a ceramics festival to an artist-run plant sale.

The latest edition of Noah Fischer’s Housing Stories comics, A View From the Easel, Required Reading, and more below.
