<In case you would like to explore more about NYC…>
- Museum of the City of New York is truly for anyone who is interested in cities, people, cityscape, architecture… https://www.mcny.org/
- The Tenement Museum also provides walking tours which are really fun, and you get to learn each street’s history as if you are time traveling in 19th and 20th century New York… https://www.tenement.org/

- If you happen to be in the area for the museum, you can combine and taste a slice of history and NYC’s institution: https://katzsdelicatessen.com/
- If you are in NYC, visiting New York Public Library is an absolute must: https://www.nypl.org/locations/schwarzman My favorite room is Map Division (but this is a very subjective, biased view of mine). If you need some assistance with research, please contact them in advance and have an appointment: https://www.nypl.org/research/appointments
- If you want to “experience” a piece of “Gilded Age”, plan your visit to Frick Collection. Frick family’s mansion was converted into a public museum in the 1930s and you can see fantastic paintings including Goya, Rembrandt, Vermeer and many others: https://www.frick.org/
