10 Museums in Chelsea That You Shouldn't Miss
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

Came in with a friend to see the museum - a wonderful collection of eclectic pieces from the old world. Fascinating displays and very well- versed tour guide (Danihl) who gave us some super insight into the world of the Cold War. Highly recommended.

I was flying nine hours on the plane from Munich just to finally visit The Rubin. It was an excellent decision to do so. My expectations were highly exceeded. I had the honor to sit in the stunning Shrine Room with the amazing Tashi Chodron throughout an awakening practice. It was magical. Afterwords the fascinating and warm hearted Tashi invited me for tea and I learned even more about Tibetan Buddhism. I also participated in the "Rethink your future" workshop with German Prof. Gabriele Oettingen. We went through a couple of very emotional cases and I thought The Rubin is just the right place for this. The entire setting is breathtaking, and of very high standard. There are a lot of things going on at The Rubin and I had the feeling that a little sympathetic community had formed since people were just dropping in all the time who all knew each other to have tea or something to eat in the nice restaurant. Also the bookstore is absolutely great. Everybody was so friendly and welcoming. I wish we had this in Germany. I'm very grateful I could experience this. It won't be long and I will be back for more. Thank you, Rubin!!
