New York City Hidden Gem: The Morgan Library & Museum

The opulent Gilded-Age former personal library of J.P. Morgan might be the most under-the-radar of New York’s museums. As museums go, it’s sort of small. But as personal libraries go, it’s hella impressive. Hard to imagine living in a house with a library like this. Check out the fall issue of OLTRE for more tips for visiting Manhattan, including where to eat, drink and, of course, stay.
