Smaller and the City

First trip of the year to NYC.

I took in two new (not gigantuan) museums. I highly recommend both.

Arrived just in time at The Cloisters (in my case Sunday at 3 pm) to join the free Collection Highlights tour. I took an MTA bus, along with my lovely tour guide, Marla, all the way from the Upper West Side to the museum. It was a long trek but I was able to see Colombia University and the Restaurant storefront of Seinfeld fame from my bus window.

I also went to the Frick Collection. It's pretty inexpensive if you can still pass on your student ID (not that I ever would). The best part was that the Audio tour comes free with admission. I'm always a fan of audio tours, they lend you the alone time and freedom to wander and imagine how you will finance your own amazing art collection and manshion to hold it all.
