I just noticed a post on ZagatBuzz* with suggestions where to eat after visiting the newly-reopened Museum of Arts and Design in NYC.

*ZagatBuzz is the blog for Zagat.com, the online presence for Zagat Survey, publishers of the renowned guides based on consumer ratings and reviews for restaurants (and now hotels, nightlife, shopping, and more.) A terrific resource which I use all the time; check it out at Zagat.com, and/or look for their published guides at your bookstore.

In it’s previous version — the American Craft Museum — this was one of my favorite NYC museums.

It was not too demanding, there was always at least one interesting, unusual and sometimes off-beat exhibit; and I could generally breeze through in an hour (ok, so sometimes I’m not that deep!)

I understand the new location — in the controversially-redesigned “lollipop building” at 2 Columbus Circle — features twice as much exhibition space, a Tiffany-sponsored contemporary jewelry gallery, plus fantastic Central Park views.

I can’t wait to check it out, then follow one of ZagatBuzz’s suggestions on where to eat after!

And if you get there before I do, please share your experience with your Lipstick Getaways’ girlfriends.
