"The cheapest flight to Europe around. What are the words? Impressive. Magnificent. Perched in Fort Tyron Park, it's fancy and formal here: archways, splendid gardens, highly detailed and beautiful unicorn tapestries, hands clasped among statues, bright lighting, and generally an awe-inspiring experience. The Cloisters, dedicated to medieval art, hardly needs an introduction as the most well-known gem of Inwood and a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. If you live in Inwood, you can come to the Cloisters and just hang out. Sit in the gardens, relax, and enjoy the space-time continuum. And no, it never gets old." - Jeanne Henry
