Since you are reading what is generally referred to as “Guy’s personal blog,” it makes a certain kind of sense to say, once again, how we New Yorkers seem to have a special appreciation for what is available to us. Why? Because we find ourselves surrounded by beautiful things, material objects that practically call for appreciation, as I’ve just said. And as a long-time resident, I’m happy to share that in all the years I’ve lived in New York, I’ve been known to say repeatedly that my two favorite museums are the one we’ve always called The Cloisters (now referred to as “The Met Cloisters,” in recognition of the museum’s role as part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art) and The Frick Collection.
