Best contemporary art museum in NY, have to take a train that goes along the Hudson river (best views during fall season!) / rent a car. This museum only uses natural light, and has pieces from Richard Serra, Judd, Sol Lewitt, Walter de Maria, Robert Smithson, Flavin, all best of the best!

Daytime café, nighttime bar. Nothing stronger than 30-proof. Delicious beer and really good wine. Kind people run & staff the place. The garden in the Summer is perfect. I make near-daily visits.

Be warned: you’ll want to buy everything in this beautiful, minimalist store.

Really great coffee and bread. 

Just by sitting on a bench and drinking a coffee in the park, I can be entertained by so many performers and some crazy people.
