Make a visit of it

J.P. Morgan's original private library is the showpiece -- a triple-height room with Renaissance paintings on the ceiling and 3 tiers of rare books. Stand in the middle and look up. The Gutenberg Bibles are in the vault.

After: Saravanaas (South Indian, $8-14). Lexington and 26th. Dosa bigger than the table for $10. Perfect pre-museum fuel on Curry Hill.
