Planning your visit to New York
New York's major museums are spread across Manhattan — the Metropolitan Museum and Guggenheim are on the Upper East Side (4/5/6 subway), while MoMA is in Midtown and the Whitney is in the Meatpacking District. The Metropolitan suggests a donation rather than charging a fixed fee for New York State residents; out-of-state visitors pay the listed price. Allow a full day for the Met; the other collections are more manageable in a half-day.
