               New               York               City,               itself,               is               a               giant               classroom               if               you               know               where               to               look.

The               city               is               older               than               the               United               States               and               has               borne               witness               to               some               the               most               important               events               in               American               history.

There               are               many               other               museums               and               exhibits               to               be               seen               as               you               wander               Manhattan's               busy               streets.

These               suggestions               are               but               a               small               fragment               of               what               you               can               find.

Explore               Manhattan               and               indeed               the               city               at               large               with               an               open               mind.

Have               fun!
