SUNDAY GUIDE: The Frick Collection

This is the place to see and be seen on Sunday midday. The Uppercrust of the Upper East Side loves a deal, especially on some of the best European Art in the World. And you can take part in this deal as well, with PAY-WHAT-YOU-WISH Sundays at The Frick Collection from 11AM-1PM, Every Sunday.

This stately mansion, built exclusively for Henry Clay Frick, is a true testament to the Gilded Age and all of its grandeur. If you would like, I would suggest dressing for the occasion as wandering through the galleries makes one feel quite stately and lends to the splendor of your visit. And don't forget your FREE Artphone that explains many of the paintings, sculptures and rooms of the mansion.

And for those of you looking for a great Valentine's Weekend activity, this is the romantic of all the Museums in NYC. It is also located right across the street from Central Park, so afterwards why not go on an afternoon stroll or a picnic with your sweetheart. I guarentee you, you will be in the mood for love.

(Note: There are only two American artists featured in the whole Frick Collection. The first is Gilbert Stewart, whose portrait of George Washington was most likely acquired for patriotic reasons. However, it seemed as if Mr. Frick thought Whistler was esteemed enough to hang with the Old Masters and bought many of his works).
