There are a couple of exhibits to see and there no cost to enter the museum. Which is nice. My only two complaints are parking can be difficult, but I was lucky enough to find parking on the street since the lot was $28. Also, since the museum is small, it's very short tour and there was only one floor that was open and it was a little limited. But we did all have a good time nevertheless. Would recommend visit the museum and take in the beautiful of art and experiences of the artist.

These are some of the exhibitions that were formerly on display: Mantua Nangala & Yukultji Napangati: The artists' abstract works of art represent a description of the the' homeland and indigenous life. The appearance of these portraits kind of reminds me of a persian rug, but it's still pretty neat. Matthew Krishanu: Falling Into Place: The setting of these paintings is in South Asia. There is a variety of banyan trees and religious figures. Jaiik Lee: Still In Flux: The vessels are painted in a variety of porcelain colors. The physical appearance of these jars are identical to hot air balloons and the vessel at Hudson Yards. Soull & Dynasty Ogun: KODE: Yes I Do: As you enter this parlor, immerse yourself in a unique clothing line, furniture, and a table aligned with glittering jewelry. Each exhibit is assigned a QR code. Simply scan the code to acquire more information about these exhibitions. Although these exhibitions were previously taken down, other works of art will be on display in the near future. #salon94 #uppereastside #matthewkrishanu #jaiiklee #soulanddynastyogun

The first floor and second are currently shucks & aww where functional objects are infused with humor and visual wit, where context and function meet. Where the second floor presents and represents the mundane to be extraordinary. And the show stopper- the golden rain drops, each suspended making a fantasy look. The 3rd floor had three different artist presented coherently together, probably what I liked best about the gallery, the whole room was collective. Can't wait to see what the next installations will look like in this beautiful space.

The bartenders often have a weirdly grouchy "bro" energy that makes you feel like you're bothering them just by ordering a drink. Last fall, one guy was even playing music that sounded like a Christian radio station. The lyrics literally had the word "Lord" in them. It felt less like a neighborhood bar on the UWS and more like I'd wandered into a roadside bar somewhere in the Bible Belt. Another bartender always seems completely checked out. It's hard to flag him down, so we end up sitting there with empty drinks until he eventually notices. On our most recent visit it was a beautiful day outside, but we decided to sit inside since we were planning to order a bunch of food and settle in for a while. The basement was musty and dark and all the windows were shut. We politely asked if they could open a window or turn on the AC for a bit just to air it out. The response was a flat "No." That was it. When we asked why, he said if he did that someone else might complain, and then he just walked away. He kind of just waived us away, it was the weirdest interaction. That was the last time we overlooked the attitude. We normally like to hang out and spend $120-$150 here, but at that price we don't want to feel like we're an imposition.

So I was a little prepared for this interesting art spot that is maybe a quarter or half mile south of the Little Red Lighthouse along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park. These stacks are made from local rock, a type called Manhattan Schist. They seem to be ideal for stacking as they have square edges and flat sides. This phenomenon apparently started in July 2017 and were initially the work of Uliks Gryka, who was inspired to create them after noticing the medley of rough, jagged rocks strewn about the shore. With the Midtown skyline way off in the distance on a clear day, you could almost imagine that these stacks - some five or six rocks tall! - could be skyscrapers themselves. I wouldn't recommend starting stacking stones - it's quite habit forming to see how many you can stack successfully before they tumble like a heavier version of Jenga. And be warned - the existing stacks are not glued or cemented in place. They can fall (on you!) at any time. Best to observe from a few feet away. They're about level with 171st Street if it continued west to meet the Hudson (which it obviously doesn't). [Review 15649 overall - 246 in New York - 1153 of 2021.]

Located on the Upper East Side on 105 and Fifth. It's 5 blocks from my doctors office and since I was so close, I just had to stop by. There are only 4 floors and you can see everything in just over an hour. Start in Timescapes where you can watch a movie narrated by Stanley Tucci, all about the history of New York City. When you're done with this you can venture around the floors. One floor is is dedicated to the "New York at Its Core" exhibition which is a timeline of the city from 1609 to the present. Its unique and shows how the city has evolved and is still changing. With over 75,000 objects there's a little something here for everyone. Vintage fashion from some of New York most famous designers, a basketball exhibit showing the culture of street ball, great photography, and even trumpets from Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong from the Jazz era. If you're looking for something a little different and very interesting, I highly recommend this. They also told me there's Free admission for everyone on Wednesdays.

They have a room which starts with the Dutch settling in what was then New Amsterdam in 1609. The room is subdivided into sections based on key periods in New York history through the late 1800s. For instance, the Dutch era is 1609-1660. Then, you can cross over to the other side of the floor and they have a similar room that picks up where the first room leaves off and continues to the present. There are movies, interactive exhibits, artifacts, and things to read. There's a full scale model of New York City build from small stuff the size of Legos that you can see from 2 angles. I spent 75% of my time here. If you go down the stairs, there's a movie that is just under a half hour that summarizes all that you see from the entry level. If you go up the stairs, there's a room with what are called activist New York exhibits throughout time - similar set up to the first floor. There's a Songs of New York section which plays music over time - which I skipped. There's a photo gallery. I spent just over 2 hours there. Love that it is chronological. Great that they have the exhibits and a summary movie.
