A grand museum on the edge of Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a little something for everyone. If you're not into sculpture and paintings, you can still catch a look at Tiffany glass, walk by a famous Egyptian temple and mummies, view exquisite Chinese scrolls, etc etc. Great for a rainy day. Humungous lobby with coat check facility so you don't have to lug your stuff all over the museum - just stroll in comfort instead. Materials available for children as well or visit the museum site for interactive games etc. A little snooty but worth the dollar or two donation (the suggested donation is $15 but remember it is only suggested!)
Closed Mondays.
