Great museum, if you like Edward Hopper this is the place to go. The architecture location are beautiful also, right at the end of High Line. I just felt they could give more space to the permanent c… Full review by Danisantisteban

Museums in NYC are particularly expensive. I'm not sure the cause of this, but take a look if you don't believe me: from the smallest to the biggest, you will be paying anywhere between 15$ - 40$ USD… Full review by thomasliama

This is a relatively small museum but offers an interesting blend of artist installations. Our walk through only took about two hours and we finished our tour with a coffee on the rooftop patio to en… Full review by Marc T

Every type you can imagine. They have a nice bistro just inside of the restaurant, and although not cheap, it was a great place for drinks while waiting for friends. I'd recommend Buddhakan or Gansevoort Market, depending on budget and inclination.
How early does one have to arrive to gain entrance in a reasonable amount of time for the Friday "Pay What You Wish" evenings?

Normally, the admission is: Adults $25 Seniors/Students $18 18 and Under Free Membership costs $90, so you have to decide how often you would go, and you could then go any time and not have to fight the crowds on Friday. I personally would not pay less than $20 as an adult or $15 as a senior. It is an excellent museum in a good neighborhood, so you could go down to the Hudson while there. The museum cafe was reasonable and pleasant. The museum is definitely worth a visit, and to be honest, I made my first visit only recently and joined, despite the fact that I've been in the city since 1972!
Planning a visit in November - and hoping to see the Hopper pictures. Are there many there? Is the sketch for Nighthawks going to be on view next month?
A:
There are a few Hoppers that are part of the permanent exhibits. So that shouldn’t be a problem. Not sure about the Nighyhawks. Perhaps check out the Whitney website.
Is the Subway by Tooker on display now b/c we will be in NYCApril12-19?
A:
I think the exhibit it was in ended on April 4. I may be wrong but as suggested, you can check the website to see what is on display during the time you are in Manhattan. I think it is …
I think the exhibit it was in ended on April 4. I may be wrong but as suggested, you can check the website to see what is on display during the time you are in Manhattan. I think it is well worth the trip to the museum no matter what is on display. I believe "The Subway" is part of the Whitney's collection, but they do change pieces every few months.
