Whitney Museum of American Art

The Whitney is an amazing museum and absolutely worth the visit. With free Friday nights and free second Sundays, there is no reason to stay away. Their permanent collection is inspiring and leaves the viewer with a newfound pride in country, and pride in art. The vibe at the Whitney is unmatched in coolness. The building is a work of art, the elevators are works of art, the restaurant is a work of art, The Whitney defines art in its own way. Tonight when I went there was a free Alvin Ailey Dance class that was baller. There's always something awesome at The Whitney. Go to this museum. Your life will be improved because of it.

The Whitney offers a strong and thoughtfully curated selection of American art. The museum itself is relatively compact, which makes it easy to navigate and enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. That said, tickets were $30 during my visit, and 2 of the 5 floors were closed for renovation. Given that, it might make more sense to plan a visit when all floors are open to get the full experience and value. Still, the quality of the exhibitions on display was solid and worthwhile.

Lovely modern art museum with nice views from the 8th floor balcony. It's not a very large museum like MoMA or the Met so you can get through it fairly quickly. They have free entry (with tickets) on Friday evening which is perfect for date night. Near the high line which is a nice place to walk through Chelsea.

I went to the Whitney Museum to participate in the Alvin Ailey Extension free Friday night event. It was a West African dance class. The staff was friendly and helpful when I walked in. It was my first visit here. The class was on the 3rd floor at the end of the long hallway. When you walk into the room, you'll be asked to sign a waiver. The room was large and spacious, but it quickly filled up as the 6:30 pm start time approached. However, once the amazing teacher got started and we all started moving, we had a wonderful time. There were so many different types of people in the room, from different backgrounds and dance levels, but we all had so much fun. I only took two pictures, then put my phone away to enjoy the moment, but I totally recommend checking out their programs! I will go again, it's free, just have to get a ticket on the museum site, and the ACE and L trains are within walking distance.

I’d pick moma (museum modern art) if you are short of time, over the Whitney. But if you like Modern art and can do both you will be glad that you came here There’s a lot of beautiful views. There’s a nice restaurant down on the first floor. There’s a great French bakery! When near the top there’s a coffee shop with some white snacks with incredible views. Also, it’s right next to the water and it’s also on the highline walk. Really well integrated. It’s a smaller museum. You can see the whole thing in about an hour
