What travellers are saying
- Beth G8 contributionsHaving recently read the book The Morgan Librarian, I was very interested in visiting the Morgan Library. The original library spaces are extremely impressive in terms of architecture, design and quality of holdings. The Gilded Age businessman loved antiquities, manuscripts, books, etc., and he had the financial wherewithal to acquire them. There was a Woody Guthrie exhibit when I visited, which I enjoyed as well.Written 2 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- The Sushi Guy 🍣Long Island, NY13,084 contributionsI've been here a number of times. The grounds and facilities are well kept. Decent vendors for refreshments. Plenty of security for large events. Restrooms could have been more tidy.Written 25 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- srahnenfuhrerKenilworth, NJ6 contributionsI recently saw Judgement Day at the New York Armory. The play was a retelling of a story from the 1930s dealing with grief, sorrow, personal conscience, and group or mob mentality. The play was above average, but the real star of the show is the building itself. Beautiful, both inside and outside. Everyone should visit this building one time when in New York. Get tickets to see a show or production and be amazed at the architecture. You can even have a drink in the lounge, and transport yourself back in time one hundred and fifty years ago. A beautiful place to visit and be entertained.Written 6 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

Even though we were walking in the opposite direction from the way the plaques in the walkway are installed, we still took time to stop and read them. Some of them are very inspiring, and the etched "stones" are amazing.Written 7 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Leo McNeillNew York City, NY52 contributionsThis is the best place to learn about the current places to visit and the history of the island. If they're not open, just ride the nearby free red bus. The locals are friendly and most will advise you on what there is to see.Written 21 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- travelingal60New York City, NY55 contributionsI love visiting the Grolier Club and always find their exhibits of interest. Their ground floor gallery is gorgeous following its renovation and the exhibits held there are always interesting, well put together and offer a wealth of information. Their second floor gallery is smaller but likewise offers a wide array of exhibits on varied topics related to books, publishing, printed matter. The Grolier Club is also always free of charge to the public.Written 4 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Bi-coasterBradenton, FL1,185 contributionsAlthough you must be a member of this library to check out books, they do host lectures and other events open to the public. It's a lovely grand building and the children's rooms are most welcoming and attractive. If I lived in New York, I'd definitely join!Written 3 May 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
