One of my ulterior motives for this trip was a visit to The Museum of Modern Art to see Van Gogh's The Starry Night. It is one of my favorite paintings, but I had never had a chance to see it in person. When we went to the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam a few months ago, I learned it was in New York at MOMA, and was looking forward to seeing it there.
Sadly, when we got to the gallery we learned that the painting was now traveling, and I wouldn't be able to see it.
According to the sign it will be back in New York in Autumn, so maybe I'll get a chance then. If not, then it's coming to Amsterdam in 2009, and I'll go over to see it there.

So what did you think of New York? Still on the list of places to move to?
I think at this point we've crossed NYC off the list of places we want to live. It had a much different feeling from London, and was a little too intense.
Good luck,
I went to NYC more than 6 times in last 12 months. There are a couple of paints (Dalì) that I never saw !
Frequently the MoMa's site is not updated...
so I scheduled for two times a visit at MoMa, planned using the MoMa announce of exhibitions... and I found the same msg... unplanned exhibition somewhere...
Cheers
