Your ability to enjoy the Cloisters will hinge largely on your ability to imagine yourself as a completely different person, one whose life is governed not by a Blackberry and tonight's TV programming but by the unchanging seasons and intense spiritual devotion.
Why? Because the artwork itself is attractive but not nearly so beautiful as that from later eras. What's truly fascinating is the mindset that created the artwork and the lifestyle of the Middle Ages.
Granted, it's pretty hard for a modern-day New Yorker (or visitor) to get into that mindset, but the audio guide does a pretty good job getting you there. If you're really dedicated, read "Mont Saint Michele and Chartres" by Henry Adams before you go. Most of all, if you can possibly go alone, then do that. Nothing pulls you back into this century like someone you know talking about modern concerns.
Pros: beautiful art and architecture
Cons: hard to get to

How can you hate their collection? You basically can't, they have the best triennal and had one of the better hotel/nomad show I've seen in the US [to say the least]. Had a great time, the Michelangelo Show earlier was great too.
Pros: Ambience, Shows, Design Shows
Cons: Expensive to get in

These guys make it all and they make it well. The latest in Italian fashion. Your wallet will cry after a visit here. A pair of boys shoes can run you $200. Expect to pay around $300 for a pair of men's shoes and women's shoes can run $200 - $500. The merchandise is all made of high quality material and gorgeous to look at as well. This is a class store and the staff is very friendly. They do sell some fur so if that's a problem for you be aware of it in advance.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey makes it relatively painless to get to and park at the pier where cruise ships dock. I recently traveled here and needed to park for 10 days. The price was a month for $180, which was cheaper than paying 10 daily fees. The parking lot is secure. The pier and port itself was easy to navigate and well marked with directions. The terminal workers helped with questions. The port is well kept.
