"The Most Famous Museum in NYC - MNH"

If you are wondering what MNH means, it refers to the American Museum of Natural History. Every body flocks there to see that place. If you are a history buff, you will like what you see here.

The biggest problem is getting to it, especially by car. Traveling by car is not going to work. There are too many cars in Manhattan as it is. Your best bet is to come into the city by bus or path train to Broadway and 34th St. Then take an uptown bus to 81st St. Then take a M79 bus to the museum.
Pros
  • Great museums in the area
  • Plenty of restaurants
Cons
  • Too many cars around
  • Too many people at times
Recommended for
  • Professionals
  • Singles
  • Families with kids
  • Retirees
  • Tourists
  • Gay & Lesbian
  • Hipsters
  • Students
  • Country Lovers
  • Trendy & Stylish
  • Beach Lovers
