New York Culture...



Set in Style: The Jewelry of Van Cleef & Arpels
Cooper-Hewitt Museum
Admission $15, you receive a Program with Pictures and info on the pieces


Alexander McQueen:Savage Beauty
Admission $20

My Verdict: Praiseworthy. The Van Cleef & Arpels exhibit at the Cooper-Hewitt Museum was wonderful. The Mansion is AMAZING, imagine the parties and wearing the jewelry! Highlights: Jewelry from Dame Elizabeth Taylor, HSH Princess Grace Kelly and Duchess of Windsor. Free guided tour daily.

Praiseworthy. MET Museum Alexander McQueen exhibit is otherworldly. I literally had chills walking through the exhibit. My favorites were the It's Only a Game Spring/Summer 2005 room, and the dress from Widows of Culloden Autumn/Winter 2006-7.
The lineup was long, so be prepared to wait and come early! I would have loved to have seen the rest of the museum, but we arrived mid afternoon and was only able to view the McQueen exhibit, well worth it!

Worth Mentioning: Taxi's in NYC
Very particular and you must have an address, 3/4 of the driver's had no idea where the locations were.
