Good Thing Going by Lena Dunham“The most dreamy, surprising and autoromantic (aka walk alone and in love with yourself) place in NY. It’s like a dream where you find an extra room in your house, only it’s a Medieval monastery in New York fucking City. The courtyard! The arches! The unicorn tapestries! (You know I must love it, because I once sh*t my pants there on a sixth grade field trip and I still go back.)”

Aubrey Bergeron“If you’re thinking about the Met, but want something more lowkey try the Met Cloisters. Small enough that you can see all the art on display and with beautiful gardens too. Take a walk through nearby Fort Tyron park for an awesome view of the Hudson River.”
