[Magdalen] Visiting New York

[Christopher Hart]

James, You scoff at the same day visit to the Cloisters and the Met, but my
brother and I did that very thing last fall. Obviously, not enough time to
see all of the Met which is huge, but certainly very possible. We even
squeezed in a short visit to the Met Breuer (former location of the
Whitney) in between. It's also part of the system and included in the one
day admission.
