The Winter Garden is so lush and gorgeous, and they’ve got lots of Impressionists if that’s the type of thing you’re into. I was particularly fond of the wall of recreation noses and ears that had originally been created to repair ancient statues. Could take a whole day to explore—I left to get a hotdog outside the train station and then went back later.”
