As I hope every New Yorker knows, the Met is great. There are several permanent exhibits I visit regularly, but it also seems I discover something new every time I go. It's a wonderful place to visit -- whether to see something specific, discover something knew, or to go just for the quiet pleasure of wandering around the stunning building. The museum also has several great places to relax and is a wonderful retreat from the city at large. Its gift shop is huge and is an excellent destination of holiday shopping.
