AHHHH going back home again!!!! less then 2 weeks!! This is just a quick post on the best of the best. I'm meeting my friend Meer from college days to check out east village locally. Though this is a good short list. The Guggenheim & Metropolitan Museums is a must for first timers. Also MOMA which is great but not in vicinity of the other two museums. I love going to Chelsea to do a nice art hop as well. I will be checking out the east village this round for galleries. But also brooklyn, like williamsburg is great too for art adventures. If Dumbo is how I remembered its also filled with amazing spaces and art galleries.
