I was asked the other day what was the best thing to see in New York. I myself had asked the same question some time ago on the occasion of my first trip there, and a wise Dominican Friar, now deceased, said: “The Cloisters.” So that was the advice I passed on.
The Cloisters is a museum right at the furthest tip of Manhattan, accessible by fast subway train, so do not let the distance put you off. It houses the medieval collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the same ticket is valid for both.
