It seems like a fairy-tale, or perhaps just a little deja-vu, when you embark onto a place in which you've seen in your dreams. Taking the 'A' train uptown & surviving a bunch of club kids headed to the Electric Daisy festival, we began the journey through the trees, through winding paths and countless steps, to this unforeseen place (as in an episode of Game of Thrones where your sidekick Siri and Google Maps are of no help). The effort was well worth the journey, and the exhilaration of reaching the top followed by being greeted with this magnificent structure, the Cloister Museum. With its art and architecture devoted to medieval Europe, the museum incorporates 5 European abbeys which were dissembled and brought to NYC and reconstructed by Charles Collins as an extension to the Met Museum. The gardens surrounding the museum brings great solitude and balance to the architectural elements. This is what we saw...
