Please click on this link to view the list of New York City museums. We live in the best place on earth when it comes to culture (and food and people). We are going to visit two. Spend some time exploring the rest. Most of the time, you get student admission at a discount or free altogether.
In the very least, go see my lilies at MoMA. Sit in front of them and give yourself at least 15 minutes. Keep looking...
If you like music, turn on Debussy's Clair De Lune. Enjoy!
