My fav modern museum in the city! 1) it's only 2 blocks from my place :) Free Fridays from 4-8pm, a huge line usually, but it goes by pretty fast so don't be scared. Crowded, but free!

Gorgeous collection of arts, it's more special to view from the actual home of the owner. A real gem. They have special pricing on Sundays I believe.

The biggest museum in NYC, a must. It's suggested pricing so don't feel too pressured to pay full price if you're on a tight budget. The rooftop has a beautiful view of central park w bar.

Really cool NY coffee house, always laid back, artistic people. Though this location in Union Square is probably more hustle and bustle than the Village Location. Very good coffee.
