I love visiting them! The quirkier the better!

I love reading about all the quirky little things that people have kept in museums.

That’s a good point I hadn’t thought about. And it was during the Depression too. Something to ask about on your visit!

Both museums would be fun to see next time we visit New York City.

Thanks for the exposure — will definitely visit them next time.!

Enjoy it! And get a bagel too, while you’re in the city!

They’re at 29 East Fourth Street between Lafayette Street and Bowery.

We love homes that have been left as they were, something of a living museum.

I think we’ll have to check out the Merchants Row House ourselves in a month or so (where in New York is it?)!
