Museums
- The Morgan Library and Museum. We live very close to this museum, and it's free on Friday nights! It has a lovely collection housed in an intimate setting.
- Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. This museum is in a great old building, and tends to have some very interesting exhibits.
Civic Resources
NY Public Library. We live right near the mid-Manhattan branch and use it all of the time. It is too bad that it is underfunded; it would be nice if it were open more often!
Food
- Vere Chocolate makes great stuff!
Miscellaneous
