NIMBYs like these are the reason the UES went from being NY’s most expensive neighborhood to one of its cheapest. It’s crazy that these puritans think everyone who wants to drink a glass of wine needs their express written permission.

They shut it down for 5 years to make it more accessible. Sounds like a George Orwell quote.
Much more was done than just making it more accessible. The amount of restoration of stone and plaster was monumental as well as turning the second floor into exhibition space. Just the fact that they had the Parisian fabric company recreate the original fabric on the walls of Mrs. Frick’s bedroom, which is now exhibition space, speaks of the amount of care and detail to this restoration.
