Jewish Museum
The engaging exhibits curated by this small museum in a mansion on Fifth Avenue (the early French Renaissance–style former Felix M. Warburg House) appeal to culture vultures of all stripes: Take recent exhibitions focusing on fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi and illustrator Maira Kalman as two examples. The first Jewish museum in the U.S., and the oldest still in existence around the world, the space houses 30,000 historical artifacts as well as works of contemporary art and design. The institution is also home to the newest cafe by the venerable Lower East Side fish shop Russ & Daughters.
