Start your cultural immersion by visiting the Brooklyn Museum, the second-largest art museum in New York City. The museum contains a plethora of world-famous art pieces, including Egyptian antiquities, American artworks, and even contemporary art installations. Audio guides are available to help navigate the exhibits.
Take a short walk to Russ & Daughters Cafe and experience some of the best Jewish cuisine in the city. The restaurant has been serving fresh smoked fish, pastries, and bagels for over 100 years and is a must-visit for any foodie in NYC.
Head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest art museum in the US, with more than 2 million works of art spanning 5000 years of world culture. The museum's vast collection includes art from ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, as well as a world-renowned collection of European paintings and sculptures.
End your day of cultural immersion by visiting the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), home to an impressive collection of modern and contemporary art, from early Abstraction to Pop and Minimalism as well as a world-famous photography collection. Highlights include Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” and Warhol’s “Campbell’s Soup Cans”.
If you have more time, explore the historic brownstone neighbourhood of Brooklyn Heights or walk along the Brooklyn Bridge for scenic views of the city skyline. For less time, you can skip the Brooklyn Museum or replace MoMA with a visit to the Whitney Museum of American Art located nearby for an alternative perspective on American art.
