History & art museum exploring NYC's evolution & culture
"In a Colonial-style building near the top of Central Park, this under-the-radar museum holds more than 1.5 million pieces—photography, paintings, drawings, furniture, decorative objects, manuscripts—all focused on the history of New York City’s five boroughs. Because it’s relatively out of the way for many tourists, the visitors who do make it here often bring a little more enthusiasm than your average museum-goer." - Charlie Hobbs, Andrea Whittle
