WWing sites in NYC?

The elevators in the Chrysler Building.

Lobby was closed, but I could see marquetry on the doors that looked nice. MoMA was an absolute madhouse so I didn't go in this trip. Not much ww'ing was seen other than the furniture in Crate & Barrel.

If you're into marquetry, try the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art). I wish I could remember the details (and the Met's web site is useless), but there's an entire room done in marquetry, brought over from Europe somewhere.

Second the Met recommendation. They have a ton of furniture from all periods and styles. One of my favorite all time pieces is there. I called the Met and the curator was very helpful - sent me all sorts of information on the piece, pictures, articles and all.
