As a resident of Manhattan, I add my vote for the Museum of Natural History and the Oyster Bar. At the Oyster Bar, I recommend Oysters Rockefeller, which are oysters baked with a delicious sauce. I have had them several times and think they are great. If you happen to be in lower Manhattan, visiting the World Trade Center Memorial, you may pass the Federal Reserve Building on Maiden Lane. If you go that way, say a brief vintage gun lover's prayer, because the Maiden Lane side of the Federal Reserve building is where Patrick Mullin's gunmaking shop used to be located! One of the very best American gunmakers, trained in London and Dublin, who moved to NYC and made the finest sporting guns in the era of Teddy Roosevelt and earlier.
