The Cloisters, a branch of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is America's only museum dedicated exclusively to the art of the Middle Ages. Picturesquely overlooking the Hudson River in Fort Tryon Park in northern Manhattan, the Museum derives its name from the portions of five medieval cloisters incorporated into a modern museum structure. Not replicating any one particular medieval building type or setting, but rather designed to evoke the architecture of the later Middle Ages, The Cloisters creates an integrated and harmonious context in which visitors can experience the rich tradition of medieval artistic production, including metalwork, painting, sculpture, and textiles.

Astor Row is the name given to 28 row houses on the south side of West 130th Street, between Fifth and Lenox Avenues in the Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, which were among the first speculative townhouses built in the area. Designed by Charles Buek,[1] the houses were built between 1880 and 1883 in three spurts, on land John Jacob Astor had purchased in 1844 for $10,000. Astor's grandson, William Backhouse Astor, Jr., was the driving force behind the development. The design of the three-story brick, single-family houses[2] is unusual, in that they are set back from the street, and all have front and side yards – an oddity in Manhattan – as well as wooden porches.

Striver’s Row wasn’t always known by that name. These two blocks of Harlem, which run from 138th Street to 139th Street, from Frederick Douglass Boulevard to Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard, were originally dubbed the King Model Homes after the wealthy and brash developer David H. King, the Trump of his time. The first stones were laid in 1891, according to Untapped Cities. And Striver’s Row is not the official name of the district—it got that moniker in the 1920s. In its 1967 designation of the two blocks as an official historic district, the Landmarks Preservation Commission refers to it as the St. Nicholas Historic District, named after nearby St. Nicholas Park.

Fort Tryon Park remains one of the city's most beautiful outdoor pieces of art and one of the best presents ever received. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began acquiring private parcels in 1917 as part of his vision of developing a beautiful park with majestic views of the Hudson River and Palisades for the public. Great for sunset picnic in the summer.
