Sunday morning in NYC
We're staying in the Times Square area because this is, primarily, a theater weekend. We'll be leaving Manhattan around 1:30-2:00 Sunday to go to a concert in Queens.
We're looking for something to do Sunday morning; many museums seem to open at 11. I was thinkig about a self-guided walking tour of Greenwich Village or wandering around the Chelsea Market. Any other ideas?

The High Line sounds very appealing--we haven't been there, and thought we could combine it with the Chelsea Market.
We're not Christian, so church isn't really an option.
Somehow, I missed the wandering a neighborhood gene--it always seems so aimless to me and I keep feeling like I'm missing something!
The Museum of Jewish heritage is a place I'll research. The Museum of the American Indian may be not too far away, and we might be able to visit both.
When I was a NYer, on Sunday morning I'd read the Times in my PJs and do the laundry!

I'm so bad at relaxing--it's definitely a character flaw of mine that sitting around reading the paper seems like wasting time when I'm in an exciting city. cpg & sf7307, maybe I should find a WW meeting!

How the Times got into my pajamas, I'll never know? (Sorry Groucho.)

Unless they have improved the Museum of the American Indian, I would not go. It is not even close to being a major collection.

Have you been to the Conservatory Gardens in Central Park? The Museum of the City of NY is across from it and opens at 10. http://www.mcny.org/exhibitions/

Having just been there for s Sunday morning, we did the 2hour Circle Line boat tour. It follows the Hudson to the Statue of Liberty, then up the East River under the bridges to the United Nations. Nice views around lower Manhattan. The morning sun gave a nice light to the buildings.
