very good exhibition but give cafe a miss aweful service and worse food and lots of local cafes are better

We have visited many museums in NY, but this is the first time we have visited the Whitney museum and we did not regret it. THis museum, located in Upper state NY, has 5 floors (this time the 2nd floor was closed), and in each there was something else very interesting to see. Starting with the American art of 1800+...

A good collection of modern American art - the main purpose of my visit was to see works by Edward Hopper and was disappointed to find only a very limited selection on display. Couldn't figure out Jay Defeo at all.

There are lots of art museums to choose from in NYC, but the Whitney Museum should not be missed. As noted in other reviews, the smaller size of the museum makes it very do-able without wearing you out. The exhibits that I saw were very interesting and thought provoking.

We enjoyed a very good exhibition of Jay Defeo, and also appreciated the museum's free multimedia guides that you can borrow from the desk at the ground floor.

Interesting exhibits, and the museum is small enough so you can do it in a shorter time. One of my favorite at museums of all. They are moving downtown to the meat packing district in a year or so.

The Whitney is a nice sized museum that can easily be enjoyed in a few hours. We went with a guide to see one of the special exhibits. The tour was free and should not be missed. It was extraordinarily well done and very informative. They have a wonderful collection.

I love museums and art but there was nothing here that really blew me away. They currently have an exhibit called "Blues for Smoke" and the usual collection of Georgia O'Keeffe, which is nice but the only thing I remember from the visit.
