Go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Finish the Symposium and take the Long Island Rail Road from Stony Brook Station to NY Penn Station (That train is going WEST) Get off Take a taxi to the Met. The subways and busses go up there , but unless you know where you are going, it is worth the extra money for the taxi.
Thanks! Just the sort of information that I need. Sounds like I want to take a whole day for the Met.
If I was not in Pennsylvania for Grad school that week, I'd volunteer to play guide, since I live on Long Island.
Well bummer! That would just be too cool. Good luck with school! I've to to finish the rest of my results and hope to present a poster if I can pull this off!
You do yourself a dis-service if you don't see the Met, but then there is the JP Morgan Library on Madison Ave, with its huge collection of illuminated manuscripts (look, do not touch, The Frick collection with its FAB paintings.... well you know. Probably way too much to see. There is also a new exhibit on tailoring at the museum at FIT on 7th Ave and 28th St. Free. And you can walk from Penn Station.
I know that there's *scads* of stuff there. I was leaning toward the Met/Cloisters.
One thing... if you DO make it to the Met, watch the prices on books.
I'll keep that in mind. Very seldom are books *only* available at a museum shop. Thanks!
