The Morgan Library

Last week, I visited the Morgan Library & Museum for the third time! Admission is kind of expensive, but if you go on a Friday, it is free from 7PM – 9PM. Definitely take advantage of it! And if you love books, period rooms, and medieval art, you MUST visit at least once. The museum …

Met pins

Today’s post is of a different kind. A sad kind. Just wanted to share with you all the end of a colorful era. Click here to read about it! Starting Monday, the Metropolitan Museum will no longer be issuing these colorful pins as admission tickets :( If for ecological reasons, then it’s good. But I …

Macaron Day…Again! 2013

On March 20th of 2012, I went on my first extensive Macaron Day journey. I scoured New York City in search of free macarons! And I enjoyed it so much that I made sure that my class schedule this year would not interfere with my 2nd annual Macaron Day adventure. Yup, I put my classes …

Grand Central Centennial

Sorry to interrupt my New York Transit Museum posts, but this is related, so it’s okay. As you can probably guess from the title of this post, Grand Central is 100 years old this year! The celebration was two weeks ago on February 1. I was lucky enough to have the chance to spend a …

Transported to the Past

The long-awaited post! Well, the post that I’ve been trying to push myself to finish for the last…5 months? Wow. Several months ago, I went on a field trip with my Macaulay Science & Technology Seminar (3) to the New York Transit Museum. And let me tell you, if you’re a true New Yorker (i.e. …

One Reason Why I Love NYC

A couple weeks back, I discovered, through my friend’s photos, that the current Times Square/Grand Central Shuttle was transformed into a nobleman’s library. However, I thought it was a one weekend thing.  I just sat at home thinking, ah, so cool! If I had known earlier, I would’ve take the Shuttle to see it. But …

This lovely gallery is on at the corner of Greene and Broome St. Its focus: illustration and animation art, in the world of Fine Art. Read their explanation here and enter the …

How Odd! FIGMENT Festival 2012

Way back on June 9th, I took a trip to Governors Island for the opening of Figment Festival 2012. I liked Governors Island so much when I first went for Macaulay’s orientation that I decided I had to go back. But this time for art. For those of you who don’t know, FIGMENT is a …

Playing House at the Brooklyn Museum

Another Brooklyn Museum post? Yes! Actually, I’ve been holding this post back for a while because I was too lazy to edit my horrible photos of this exhibition. But now that I realized that the exhibition will be closing very soon on August 26th, I decided to finally get to it. There is a current …

The Whitney: A Glimpse At Eternity

A couple days ago, I finally went to the Whitney Museum of American Art, located on 75th Street and Madison Avenue. Like most visitors, my main goal was to see Yayoi Kusama’s Fireflies on the Water. However, I also visited the other exhibitions. The line was long, reaching out and around the building. The wait on …
