Lonely Planet review

For a look behind the intriguing facade of NYC, head here, where exhibitions focus on the city's past, present and future, and cast a clever eye over the city, with previous subjects ranging from Harlem lost and found and the Roaring '20s to moving toward sustainable architecture in the 21st century.

Housed in a 1932 Georgian-Colonial mansion, the Museum of the City of New York offers plenty of stimulation, both old-school and technology-based.
