One Museum Leads to Another
Our recent visit to the Australian Museum, with its fabulous collection of opals and other gems, inspired a visit to the American Museum of Natural History once we returned to the Big Apple. Like its Australian cousin, AMNA has both a display of minerals that help explain how various rocks are formed and plenty of precious items to oogle and drool over.
After some time in the galleries, we headed downstairs to the cafeteria for refreshment. AMNA hasn't quite matched MOMA in the high-end culinary department, but there is still plenty to please even fussy palates. You are bombarded with piles of tempting sweets as you enter the eatery (so rush through quickly if you have sugar-loving tots in tow), followed by an extensive -- and delightfully fresh -- salad bar. Standards, like pizza, dino-shaped chicken nuggets, buffalo wings and burgers are in the hot food section in the back. But with some searching, you'll also find more high-brow seasonal delights like gazpacho. The beverage selection is also comprehensive, with something for everyone.
