My favorite NYC experience! While tickets run high, this is an experience you will never forget! This "live theater" is a world unto itself. You are free to roam the many floors of this 'hotel.' You too are a part of this narrative as performers dance in and out of rooms in some of the more impressive physical storytelling I've seen. This is one to tell the grandchildren about! A must!

Located in a residence on the Upper East Side, The Frick Collection is my favorite museum in NYC. The decor of each room is made to match in color and mood to the pieces that adorn its walls. From Byzantine frescoes to the Dutch masters Vermeer and Remembrandt to the splendor and extravagance of French Rococo, this museum is a feast for the senses. Top off your trip uptown with a stroll through the adjacent Central Park.
