Planning next New york visit

Last time I went New york it was with college, we went for 4 days, its was good but it felt abit rushed, we got woke up and had to be out for 10am to go on tours, it was good but we didnt really get to do much.

So when I heard we were going to New york with uni I thought that I would plan some places to visit, places ive heard about and seen on tv, places I want to go again because I was to busy to notice things last time I went.

So to start off I was watching a tv program about art auctions around the world, and they were looking at new art work in New york and they stopped at a toyshop (well what looked like a toyshop) and it was full of cool little figures that artists have designed and made themselfs, I forgot the name of the shop so I went on a hunt and found some cool shops/galleries that arnt like the MOMA.

Theres:
