A random list of fun stuff we discovered in 10 years inna Apple. Plus odd survival hints. And some food, here and there. For more hints, see ElopeNewYork.com which has a few touristy links. Cheers!

Free Museums - Part 2

More FREE museums, not FREE NIGHTS -

Library of Performing Arts, Lincoln Center
Fantastic exhibits

National Museum of American Indian (NY) Customs House, Battery Park. Most of the collections are now in Wash, DC, but travelling exhibits are here, in this great building on the waterfront. Free, calm, good gift store.

Rose Museum Carnegie Hall
More than 300 items recall the concerts, lectures, and other events that have appeared onstage at the Hall, along with the history of the building itself up through the 1986 renovation. Also on view are materials related to notable tenants of the studios above the stage, including Leonard Bernstein and Marlon Brando. From the silver trowel with which Mrs. Andrew Carnegie laid the cornerstone in 1890, to batons of Toscanini and von Karajan, Benny Goodman's clarinet, and an autographed program of the Beatles' landmark 1964 concert at the Hall, the display suggests the changing tides of American musical and social history." (not sure it's still free - check before going)
