Neue Galerie New York
Neue Galerie New York Review
Early-20th-century German and Austrian art and design are the focus here, with Gustav Klimt, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Egon Schiele, Josef Hoffman, and other designers from the Wiener Werkstätte. The Neue Galerie was founded by the late art dealer Serge Sabarsky and cosmetics heir and art collector Ronald S. Lauder. The two-floor gallery, Viennese-style café, and design shop are in a 1914 wood- and marble-floor mansion designed by Carrère and Hastings, which was home to Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt III. An audio guide is included with admission. Note that children under 12 are not admitted, and teens 12-16 must be accompanied by an adult.
In an elegant, high-ceiling space below the Neue Galerie, Café Sabarsky serves Viennese coffee, cakes, strudels, and Sacher tortes (Monday and Wednesday 9-6, Thursday-Sunday 9-9). If you seek something more than a sugar fix, the savory menu includes trout crepes and Hungarian goulash.

Here's another small but attractive New York museum in an opulent former mansion, its collection dedicated to German and Austrian painting, sculpture, and decorative art from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Has some worthwhile canvases and drawings by Klimt, Kokoschka, and Schiele. Still, very pricey given its small scope.
