Every time I visit the specialist, I try to plan an entire day around it, as if the visit itself were secondary. I do this to assuage any unpleasantness that might arise from the visit, despite the doctor (and his staff) being so pleasant to see.
But let's face eit, I pay $200-$250 for each of these visits, which end up being nothing more than a counselling session, perusal of my lab results, tweakage of my medication, with me usually feeling like a collossal failure that I haven't lost weight... or that I haven't "gotten over' being depressed.
Be that as it may, it's beginning to be a bit of a challenge for me to think of museums to visit. I usually try to go someplace nice for lunch, hit a museum, and do some shopping.
So far, in the course of me visiting this specialist, I have visited the following museums:
The Met
The Guggenheim
The Jewish Museum
The Asia Museum
Museum of Art & Design
MoMA
The Whitney
Which leaves (within a reasonable walking distance--and then some):
The Fricke (Not open on Mondays, when the majority of my appointments are)
Goethe House (Not open on Mondays)
The Morgan
Carnegie Hall/Rose Museum
Though it looks like for the 18th, my choice would be either The Morgan, or The Museum of the City of New York.
I'll then head to MarieBelle for some tea, and then Vermicelli for lunch... though not necessarily in that order.
