I didn’t hear about his until you mentioned this. The last time I was in there was for a class in college. I would love to go again. Thanks for a great post!

We went too! We came later then you and saw the Salsa concert. It was great! My mother is not Latina but grew up in East Harlem and I taught in East Harlem for over 7 years. What a wonderful day for the community and a truly wonderful place to take your kids! After the museum we went to the Conservatory Garden, another hidden gem in the city !
