Cambria K. • December 25, 2015Take the guided tour. It makes it even better.

James C. • February 9, 2015Really good staff and exhibits are totally worth it. Check it out.

Pablo C. • April 13, 2015One of the best numismatic libraries. A previous appointment is indispensable.

Naked B. • January 28, 2012This is a really nice museum down in th Seaport. It's not the biggest, but for $5 it's worth every penny if you're down there. I'm happy that it has re-opened, the space by itself is worth it.

Leo K. • May 10, 2015Despite the fact that they are located right next to a children's playground and a kids sports field, they will kick you and your children off of their lawn in the most snotty way.

Julie S. • January 27, 2019One of the oldest restaurants in the country! Great for live music and a dose of history.

Al W. • February 27, 2015Sign up for their email list and get the heads up on their special events. Poetry, workshops, art.

MuseumNerd • December 10, 2011Visit the free Revolutionary War history museum atop the hill. The museum and the largest free-standing doric column in the world are designed by the lecherous Stanford White.

Neil W. • November 13, 2011The view from the fourth floor rear by the Ted and Honey Cafe is great

Jacob S. • August 27, 2013Lightship, several miles offshore, that marked Ambrose Channel into New York Harbor, now at South Street Seaport

Aya R. • January 16, 2010no matter who's artist is showing here, the building alone is worth the visit.

Chris B. • August 10, 2010fascinating ship docked at the South Street Seaport.

Joel W. • December 31, 2021I had a deep look around this gallery and read the website since then. He's productive, eloquent, and opinionated. None of the work strikes me as particularly amazing, challenging.
