Things to do in New York City | New York | United States

The Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York City, colloquially "the Met," is the largest art museum in the United States. Its permanent collection contains over 2 million works, divided among 17 curatorial departments. The main building at 1000 Fifth Avenue, along the Museum Mile on the eastern edge of Central Park in Manhattan's Upper East Side, is by area one of the world's largest art galleries. A much smaller second location, The Cloisters at Fort Tryon Park in Upper Manhattan, contains an extensive collection of art, architecture, and artifacts from medieval Europe. (Wikipedia)

Traveler Notes

Dad stopped in for a quick visit on his way to NY, so we spent the day in NYC at the Met. It was pretty empty at the museum, probably a combo of it being midweek and COVID. After a late lunch at Tamama, we headed home to relax and cook dinner at home.

Visited the Met to sneak away from the cold and soak in all the art. Bought our tickets with a drink pass so we were able to enjoy some champagne too!
