Another resounding yes for going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I was able
to go once - for about half a day - and it wasn't nearly long enough. I'd love
to go back even if that was the only thing I had time for.

And for another subject ....
If I can pull it off (and it will probably take an act of God), I want
to go to the Evolution Meeting at the end of the month (June 23-27) at
SUNY Stony Brook. Apologies to those of you who may see this more than
once ...
I've *never* been to New York. If there was only *one* thing that you
would do while in NY -- fiber/garb/SCA general related (and the
symposium
that I need to attend is Saturday Morning), what would you do?

Metropolitan Museum of Art. And, since the Cloisters are part of it, it's
not really cheating on the *one*-thing rule to tell you to go there too :-)

*giggle* That was something that I was seriously thinking about. I
hate to go That Far to a place where so much cool stuff is, and *not*
do something!
Thanks!

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.
ONE THING: I took students up there once and they did not one allow her to
bring in her rolling suitcase into the building. (Post 9/11 security) If you
have a hotel room, or can send it ahead, you will be much better off. I
carry shopping bags and open totes in all the time . There is a coat and bag
check that is free.
There are unbelievable amounts of stuff to see. There is also a new
exhibition about English fashion. Of course there is the Arms and Armor
exhibit. and the Western European paintings, and the Medieval section that
goes on for days.... If I was not in Pennsylvania for Grad school that week,
I'd volunteer to play guide, since I live on Long Island.
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.
One thing... if you DO make it to the Met, watch the prices on books. I have
gotten huge discounts through Amazon on the same books. (I am sure there is
a built-in "donation" for the museum in their prices.)
Have a great time, Susan!!!

Thanks! Just the sort of information that I need. Sounds like I want
to take a whole day for the Met.

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!

I know that there's *scads* of stuff there. I was leaning toward the
Met/Cloisters.

I'll keep that in mind. Very seldom are books *only* available at a
museum shop.
Thanks!
