Museum of the City of New York

This gem of a museum is often overlooked in a city which is known for its world-class museums. Inexpensively priced, this art and history museum boasts a permanent collection of over three million items. This is also a museum that kids will enjoy - dollhouses, toys, and puppets are often on display here. There's even a small, classic arcade. If you have an hour or two free in New York, make this museum part of your itinerary.
