Sculpture by Tom Otterness at the 8th Avenue subway station at 14th street 

Growing up in Arizona I loved collecting rocks and was especially obsessed with gemstones. I have a natural affinity for this section of The Museum of Natural History and it’s oddly peaceful and relaxing even when the museum is packed.

Before you head to The Office NYC, stop at MAD - it is a beautiful museum with ever-changing exhibitions.

I just go there alone. More than the movie I´m watching it´s like a shelter on weekdays afternoon.

I’m a big fan of libraries (tons of books, free to take out, I mean what’s not to love?) and even though you can’t actually take out any books at the big beautiful library in Midtown – it’s still worth a visit. I love walking around in the big halls, the architecture is so beautiful and there’s always small exhibitions or things to see. Don’t forget to look up when entering the main reading-hall. Feels like book-heaven!
