Traveling to NY don’t forget to put your finger on the New Museum, opened in New York’s Bowery district, which is the city’s first such space devoted to contemporary art. The $64 million Japanese-designed building (clad in aluminum so it glitters during the day and glows at night) conceived to look like a tower of seven unevenly placed building blocks, is an art form in itself.

Each floor is set slightly in front of or behind the other, the overlaps providing space for skylights that flood the rooms with light.

The once distinctly seedy Bowery – New York’s original Skid Row – is on the up and up these days. A few doors down from the museum is the Bowery Hotel where the bars and lobby spill over with fashionable types, while in the rooms upstairs, enormous picture windows have views over the skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan.
