Off the Beaten Path Museums in New York
Couple enjoying off the beaten path walk around SOHO, NYC.
We are all familiar with the MOMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Natural History Museum, so I thought about a few other museums you may overlook when visiting NYC.
One of my favorite things to do in New York is The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space museum, located at pier 86, 46th Street and 12th Avenue. The vessel was formally an aircraft carrier during WW II and is now a museum.
The Lower East Side Tenement Museum chronicles the plight of immigrants to New York City and displays how many lived in cramped, tenement apartments.
The Frick Collection, located on 70th Street & 5th Avenue, includes some of the best known paintings by the greatest European artists, major works of sculpture (among them one of the finest groups of small bronzes in the world), superb eighteenth-century French furniture and porcelains, Limoges enamels, Oriental rugs, and other works of remarkable quality.
Just a few ideas during your visit to New York. While it is cold outside, you may want to go indoors during your holiday in NYC.
