"They only make like 6 different things, but all the sea food is fresh, good quality, and delicious. Friendly people too!"

"The line through the main entrance can be long. As an alternative, look for the street-level, side entrance for a swifter entry."

"To avoid crowds, take advantage of the evening hours on Fri & Sat. Some galleries may be closed, but you'll be able to have a more intimate experience with the art. Also, live music on the mezzanine."

"Follow them on Twitter, or check their web page to see when they are open as it's infrequent and it varies. If not open, you can still peer through the doors and access object stories via posted ph #."

"A decent place for food or coffee before/after a visit to the nearby Guggenheim Museum. Can be a tad pricey, but the soup is always tasty and a good value."

"One of my favorite cultural institutions in NYC. It's a real secret gem. If you're heading up to the Cloisters, it's easy to stop first at this worthy museum for a visit. Both are on the M4 bus line."
