Nice selection of all kinds of stuff related to art in the museum. Very well lit with natural light. Lots of books, prints, pots, plates, postcards, toys, mugs, pencils, shawls, knick knacks; even funky art deco chairs. I love the upside-down animal sugar bowls (see photos).

This is just a small sitting area at the end of Albany St, but it includes a fanciful collection of imaginative columns. Some with pediments. Some not. They are all covered with brownish-red tiles. The center-most column has a pretty tile mosaic. Great view of The Hudson River and Jersey City skyline, which is growing by the minute. This spot also borders on the lovely Battery Park City Esplanade, which is well worth a visit.

Pretty little building that is now acting as a subway station entrance and exit. Clearly from an older time as it has some classic old architectural styling. This building is right at the edge of Battery Park along State Street.

Pretty little park with limited hours. On the edge of the pleasant seaport district.

Different kinds of wetlands; swamp, pond etc. Not as colorful as other gardens, but it's a peaceful area in which a path meanders past lots of different plants, trees and water features. This path also leads to other interesting areas of the gardens like daffodil hill and the picnic area.
