You can always trust the taste of the old money's grandpa! 💼🌟

The Frick Collection After five years of renovation, reportedly costing $220 million? 🤑 🍃🌸 It finally reopened this spring in 2025! 🌸 Weekend tickets are pretty hard to get, so I suggest booking in advance on the official website to secure your slot. The walk-in line can be quite long. 🕒 ⚠️ Photography is only allowed in the courtyard and reception area. Be mindful, no photos anywhere else! 🙅‍♀️ Life tip: If you need someone to take your photo, try to find a Korean girl—they usually do a great job! 📸 I recommend bringing a pair of headphones; you can listen to audio guides for most of the artworks by entering the corresponding numbers. 🍃🌸 If you don't want to delve too deeply, you can tour both floors in about an hour and a half. The collection of paintings is quite rich, especially the Rembrandt self-portrait. There are also some small sculptures and vessels. Just got back from Long Island, and the old money in the Upper East Side really does have a more refined taste, doesn't it? 🍃🌸 Maybe it's more accurate to say that the new money of yesteryear has matured into today's old money. If you've seen all the other attractions in Manhattan, this is still worth a visit. It's definitely a niche, refined, and tasteful private collection. But don't set your expectations too high. 🍃🌸Some posts call it the "New York's Little Versailles," which might be a bit of an exaggeration. 🤔 #NewYork 🗽
