Shouldn't havecan't think about. Take a couple hours and head down to Chelsea one day. Southwest side of Manhattan. Buy some lunch, something you can carry around with you. Then just walk around for a while. You can't go two buildings without finding an art gallery and most of the owners will talk to you for hours if you let them. Très Very friendly. Social.
And if you're not completely sick of art by then, head over to the Guggenheim. It is sort of obvious, but it's still a sight. Don't goLast I heard the Met is still being horrid about security ever since someone got stabbed.
