Whitney Museum of American Art
What is arguably the finest collection of 20th-century American art in the world belongs to the Whitney thanks to the efforts of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. A sculptor herself, Whitney organized exhibitions by American artists shunned by traditional academies, assembled a sizable personal collection, and founded the museum in 1930 in Greenwich Village.Today's museum is an imposing presence on Madison Avenue -- an inverted three-tiered pyramid of concrete and gray granite with seven seemingly random windows designed by Marcel Breuer, a leader of the Bauhaus movement. The rotating permanent collection consists of an intelligent selection of major works by Edward Hopper, George Bellows, Georgia O'Keeffe, Roy Lichtenstein, Jasper Johns, and other significant artists. A pleasing second-floor exhibit space is devoted exclusively to works from its permanent collection from 1900 to 1950, while the rest of the space is dedicated to rotating exhibits.Shows are usually all well curated and more edgy than what you'd see at the MoMA or the Guggenheim (though not as left-of-mainstream as what you'll find at the New Museum). Topics range from topical surveys, such as American Art in the Age of Technology and The Warhol Look: Glamour Style Fashion to in-depth retrospectives of famous or lesser-known movements (such as Fluxus, the movement that spawned Yoko Ono, among others) and artists (Mark Rothko, Keith Haring, Duane Hanson, Bob Thompson). Free gallery tours are offered daily, and music, screenings, and lectures fill the calendar. The Whitney is also notable for having the best museum restaurant in town: Sarabeth's at the Whitney, worth a visit in its own right.
El Museo del Barrio
What started in 1969 with a small display in a local school classroom in East Harlem is today the only museum in America dedicated to Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Latin American art. The northernmost Museum Mile institution has a permanent exhibit ranging from pre-Columbian artifacts to photographic art and video. The display of santos de palo (wood-carved religious figurines) is especially worth noting, as is Taíno, Ancient Voyagers of the Caribbean, dedicated to the active, highly developed cultures that Columbus encountered when he landed in the "New World." The well-curated changing exhibitions tend to focus on 20th-century artists and contemporary subjects.
Asia Society
The Asia Society was founded in 1956 by John D. Rockefeller III with the goal of increasing understanding between Americans and Asians through art exhibits, lectures, films, performances, and international conferences. The society is a leader in presenting contemporary Asian and Asian-American art. After a $30 million renovation that doubled the exhibition space, the society's headquarters is bigger, smarter, and better than ever. Never has so much of the core collection, which comprises Rockefeller's Pan-Asian acquisitions dating from 2000 B.C. to the 19th century, been on display before. Well-curated temporary exhibits run the gamut from The New Way of Tea, exploring Japan's elaborate tea ceremony, to Through Afghan Eyes: A Culture in Conflict, 1987-1995, a study in photographs and video. Additionally, the mammoth calendar of events ranges from film screenings to arts lectures to discussion panels featuring experts in pan-Asian and global politics, business, and more; call or check the website for a current schedule.
The Mansfield
A bit pricier than it should be, the impeccably maintained Mansfield softens the blow with frequent discount deals, freebies such as all-day cappuccino and cookies and bottled water, and a heart-of-theater-and-sightseeing location.Rooms are smallish, but they boast a welcoming blend of period style and modern comforts. Nice design touches include ebony-stained floors covered with natural-fiber rugs, wood Venetian blinds, and well-made beds with gorgeous Belgian linens and metal-mesh headboards that recall Victorian sleigh beds. The nicely renovated, generally good-size marble-and-stainless steel bathrooms sport limestone counters and Frette robes. About 50% of the rooms lack closets, but brilliant built-in solutions conceal the wall racks that most hotels don't bother to hide. The tiny standards are best for only a night or 2, so try to upgrade if you're staying longer.Off the lobby is a romantic lounge with a wood-burning fireplace and a slate of international newspapers. M Bar is a swanky library-style lounge that's an attraction in its own right, with a first-rate cocktail bar and a very popular weekly Wednesday jazz night.
The Lombardy
If the Sherry-Netherland sounds divine but you just can't afford it, book into the lovely Lombardy instead. This mostly suite hotel was built in the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies, and it still feels like a grand New York apartment house. In fact, just like at the Sherry, the apartments are individually owned, individually decorated co-ops, which gives you the best of both worlds: genuine luxury apartment living, plus a full spectrum of hotel services.While studios are available, the one-bedroom suites are far superior in both size and decor. Decor runs the gamut from classic to contemporary. The one-bedrooms average 850 square feet, and almost all have been gorgeously renovated in recent years. Studios often fall short in the style department; still, they offer a lot of space and comfort for your dollar, since they're roughly twice the size of your average hotel room, and owners are required to keep them up to snuff. All apartments have fully outfitted galley kitchens; all have fridges and microwaves, most have coffeemakers, and many have stovetops and/or dishwashers. Bathrooms are usually marble and always very nice, but not large (a vestige of the building's age); closets, on the other hand, are mammoth.The hotel is beautifully run by a longtime general manager and fabulously attentive white-gloved staff who are fiercely committed to this jewel of a hotel.
The Marcel
Being budget-challenged doesn't mean you have to settle for boring. This Gramercy Park hotel offers high style and a super-hip scene at low, low prices. Thanks to designers Goodman Charlton, who love to infuse retro styles with futuristic freshness, the Marcel sits on the cutting edge style-wise. Fab faux Mod Squad-era Scandinavian stylings in the lobby lead to guest rooms boasting gorgeous blond-wood built-ins that make clever use of limited space, and a bold geometric cushioned headboard adds a downright luxurious flair. The designer furnishings and textiles look and feel expensive, even if the somewhat lumpy beds don't; still, budget travelers will be thrilled. Even if the service isn't fabulous or the little details aren't perfect, you should feel like you're getting a great deal here.One of the strongest appeals of the Marcel is Spread (www.spreadnyc.com), a restaurant/lounge hybrid offering a creative small plates menu, a first-rate sushi bar, terrific cocktails, and a blast of an after-dark scene. The subterranean lounge Coal is an even more seductive space.
