It was like every modern art painting that we looked at in art class in secondary school all crammed in one massive building.
If it’s a nice day, a walk along at least part of the High Line should be done.

You've been to Essex?

I'd wondered about the High Line, so that's moved it up the list.Yossarian wrote:Just remembered a good thing worth doing in New York if it’s pissing down: Moma.

It goes down the side of Manhattan, out to the statue of Liberty, and over to Brooklyn. It's then just a couple of minutes walk down to Juliana's. You can then also walk the Brooklyn Bridge after with the view of Manhattan
