2. 一英里博物館 | 下午3:30
Exit the gardens onto Fifth Avenue through the soaring wrought-iron Vanderbilt Gate, made in Paris in 1894 and once part of Cornelius Vanderbilt II’s mansion at 58th Street. Walk south. You’re on the aptly named Museum Mile. Already been to heavyweights like the Guggenheim? Stop by less-trafficked spots like the Museum of the City of New York, where you’ll find vestiges of the city’s younger days, including handwritten manuscripts by Eugene O’Neill. And Neue Galerie celebrates 20th-century German and Austrian art and design with works by Gustav Klimt, Josef Hoffmann, Vasily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. Then enjoy a lobster roll ($18) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s self-service roof garden cafe and martini bar (open May through late fall) as the sun sets.
走出花園,踏上第五大道,穿過高聳的鑄鐵制造的范德比爾特大門。這座大門于1894年在巴黎制造,曾經是第58大道上康內留斯·范德比爾特二世(Cornelius Vanderbilt II)城堡的一部分。向南行進,你就到了名副其實的一英里博物館(Museum Mile)。古根海姆博物館這樣的重量級博物館你已經去過了?那就在訪客較少的地方停下腳步吧,比如紐約市立博物館,你會見到這座城市年輕時代的許多遺跡,包括劇作家尤金·奧尼爾(Eugene O’Neill)的手稿。新畫廊(Neue Galerie)在舉辦20世紀德國與奧地利藝術設計慶典,展出著古斯塔夫·克里姆特(Gustav Klimt)、約瑟夫·霍夫曼(Josef Hoffmann)、瓦西里·康定斯基(Vasily Kandinsky)和保羅·克利(Paul Klee)等藝術家的杰作。這時天色已晚,你可以到大都會藝術博物館的屋頂花園自助餐廳及馬提尼酒吧(營業季從5月到晚秋時節)品嘗一客龍蝦卷(18美元)。
