You’re exhausted from walking around all morning. You’re out of breath and tired, and really want to sit down because the design planner of New York City loves stairs. I sit in front of the New York public library at a cluster of green or orange tables. I glance up to see more of the […]
Navigating My Favorite Museum
Navigating the Metropolitan Museum
The Met is a wonderful collection of art in the United States, and having a full day to visit and explore allowed us to see as much as we wanted. After grabbing a quick bite from a food truck outside, I set off to see as much as I could, starting with a loop […]
Mapping the Morgan Library and Museum
During one of our free days, my classmates and I attended college night at The Morgan Library in midtown New York. When we entered the building, we were welcomed by the sounds of the live band that was performing near the café. I took some time to sit and enjoy the music and do some […]

The study was somewhat gothic in architecture and design. The desk was made of […]

When you enter the Museum, you will be met with a small security checkpoint, and that’s all you have to do to view the museum. […]
Museum of the City of New York
On Friday, I visited the Museum of the City of New York, a modestly-sized museum on the eastern side of Central Park. It’s in a beautiful old building and has a permanent exhibit on the city through the ages. I really like to try to imagine New York before all the insanity of skyscrapers and […]
