NYC: Neue Galerie New York; things to do

Neue Galerie New York  

1048 Fifth Ave./86th St., on Museum Mile across from Central Park, 212-628-6200. Thur-M 11-6 (closed Tu & W). $15, students & seniors $10, under 12 not admitted, age 12 to 16 must be accompanied by an adult; Acoustiguide audio tour included with admission.

Modern German and Austrian art and furniture is displayed in this elegantly repurposed townhouse that opened as the Neue Galerie New York museum in 2002. Don’t miss the dramatic black-and-white polka-dot halls on the third floor and the central circular stairway.

The museum's Viennese Cafe Sabarsky serves delicious Austrian cuisine—spaetzle with wild mushrooms, beef goulash, open-face sandwiches, Black Forest cake.
