<p>We’re flying to NYC this am for an evening event and might have a couple free hours in the city. Are some museums closed on Mondays? Any great ideas about what to do in such a short time? This trip came up suddenly, so I haven’t had time to plan (too <em>busy</em> on CC).</p>

<p>Yes, unfortunately a lot of museums in NYC are closed on Mondays. Here are links to information on a whole slew of museums, which you can use to scout for some that aren’t - <a href=“http://www.ny.com/museums/all.museums.html[/url]”>http://www.ny.com/museums/all.museums.html&lt;/a&gt; . </p>

<p>If the weather permits and you’re up for it, one of my favorite things to do with a couple of hours in New York is to just walk. Go way downtown and walk around Chinatown, Tribeca, the Wall Street and South Street Seaport areas, Battery Park. Ride the Staten Island Ferry. Or walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, view Manhattan from the Brooklyn Promenade and then take the subway back.</p>

<p>Thanks jdsmom.</p>

<p>I notice MoMA is open on Mondays. We were just there in August, but they have some new exhibits. I love just walking in NY too.</p>

<p>according to today’s weather forecast this evening the temperature is going to drastically drop and there is suppose to be some rain. your best bet would be to just stay put to ensure that you can get your flight as you can easily burn 2 housrs getting back and forth from the airport with the combination of backed up traffic and bad weather</p>

<p>Or drop by my office and say hello. I’ll be here till 5:00 PM.</p>

<p>Or, just browse through Grand Central Terminal.</p>

<p>Go to the Ghugginheim Musem of modern art. You take the elevator to the top floor and walk in a circle around and around viewing the art to the ground floor.It fun and right down the street from the Met. museum of art.</p>

<p>woops, don’t think they are open in the evening.Knowing what I do about NY traffic in the evening I would stay in the airport.</p>
