What people say

Hazal Ozturk
"This Lower Manhattan gem in Meatpacking District offers both an indoor and outdoor space, with great views of Manhattan and New Jersey. 1. Skip the line and get your tickets online This museum is pretty popular in the NYC art world, so it’s always crowded. Get your tickets prior to your visit and start your journey as soon as you get there! 2. Visit the museum at random hours This might be a little tricky as everyone is busy wih their life, jobs etc. But if you could go there at a random, less popular hour, let’s say on Thursday at 3pm, chanes are high that it will be less busy. 3. Do NOT use the elevator Duh! This might sound funny but their stairs are kind of hidden and they look like fire escape stairs. So if you go all the way up to the 6th floor and work your way down level by level, by using stairs, you can definetly make this work under 2 hours!"

"Although this is already somewhat of a tourist destination, it's fresh in my mind after witnessing the Whitney Biennial, which is a special exhibition every two years. If you happen to visit while it's on, the Whitney is a must-visit."
