I'm horrified to admit that it took me years of multiple visits to New York to get around to the Asia Society. And now that I've seen it, I'm positive it'll become a regular location. The place is ultra-manageable in size, and has no crowds to deal with-- a nice break from other NYC attractions. And their exhibitions are high-quality...

Temporary exibitions are always fantastic! The cinema screenings are unique. Please check on film festvals. And remember: the asian restaurant is just perfect. It opens for lunch 7 days. Quiet on Park Av.
