Yes, this is a museum, but we mainly come for the food in a classic Viennese coffee house atmosphere. Warning: call to make sure that they are open - they are erratic and have an inaccurate website.

Renamed the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, with an exhibit of his work in the mezzaine, this Byzantine-styled theater is a delightful step back in Broadway history. A joy to see a musical here!

A small museum with interesting, permanent and rotating exhibits about NYC. Worth a visit. A nice place to finish a ramble in the park, or start here and then walk back through the Park
