Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is one of New York City's undeniable must-visits – hardly an insider secret, but essential nonetheless. Beyond its world-famous masterpieces, the real magic lies in the quieter corners: the serene Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden, often overlooked, galleries showcasing architecture and design, and the museum's exceptional design store, which is worth browsing even if you leave empty-handed. Keep an eye out for Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Monet's Water Lilies, and Dalí's The Persistence of Memory, but allow yourself time to wander beyond the icons.
