Lunch there before a visit at the MET with a walk in Central Park

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!

The rooftop garden at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum floors below are a maze of tremendous art and inspiration, and taking the elevator to the rooftop garden is the icing on the cake. 360' views of verdant green Central Park bordered by cool glass and steel of Manhattan's cityscape in the distance.

A non-collecting arts institution that fosters experimentation and dialogue through exhibitions, public programs, and artist residencies.

Super nice mens- & womens-wear. Kind German girl behind the counter most days. Good boots & great windows.
