The Frick


We carried on right through Central Park on our mission to see The Frick - formerly the home of Henry Clay Frick, an industrialist who bequeathed his home and amazing art collection to the people of New York. He had the house built for $5,000,000 in 1913 with the original plan to leave his house and collection to the public. We wandered through the rooms trying to imagine living there surrounded by some of the world's most famous pieces of art, sculpture and decorative arts. This one is worth the visit.
The staff in the gift shop recommended a deli a few blocks away for lunch. Bagel and smoked salmon followed by a chocolate panini suited me!
