New York May Trip

I am seeing Shuffle Along (now worried with that was a bad decision) , Hamilton, Fun Home and She Loves Me.

Going fro 8th -12th of May I have room for one more show. Any suggestions ?

And any Museums I should go to ? 

Heard about Frick Collection and Morgan Library, The Met, Brooklyn Museum. Any hidden gems?



 

Booked Park Hyatt  (Hyatt Member ) Was that a bad decision?

Waitress should be the next hit. 

I had just wrote about some museums which are free or pay as you wish, but i noticed your days so do not apply.  If you were in the City on Sunday morning, the Frick is pay what you wish.  I'm not sure if the price of admission (I think it is at least $20) was worth it.  I was more impressed with the house the collection is in. You can see it from the outside.  The Met Museum of Art is great.  It is pay what you wish anytime.  (Not the $25 some employees implied).  If you were there on Friday Museum of Modern Art is free.  However, their admission is well worth the price if you like modern art.  I haven't been to Brooklyn Museum so cannot comment.  However if you do go, I would walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and visit the promenade for great picture taking.

Sounds great! We'll be in town around the same time. Our top 2 were "She Loves Me" and "Shuffle Along" (don't worry). Saw and loved Hamilton and Fun Home last September.

For another slot - how about "The Humans" for a play or, the great revivals of Fiddler and The Color Purple - and the King & I from last season. Also "Long Days Journey Into Night" with Jessica Lange.

For museums, we're excited about the new Met modern art outpost in the Whitney's old home. However, the best bet for a 3 hour or so museum remains MoMA. (Hint - skip lines by paying a bit more [and taking advantage of cheap guest passes] and joining as an out-of-state member in advance). 

Your location is great.

I too always go in May and I LOVE the Fashion Institute Displays at the Metropolitan each year.  Runs from May - August.  Always Amazing Installations.  

I too am heading to broadway in the spring. So far I have 5 shows booked but am struggling with my last 2 slots. Right now it's between Color Purple, She Loves Me, and Eclipsed. Discounts will likely sway me a bit but any recommendations would be appreciated.
