PopSpots is a website about those places where interesting events in the history of Pop Culture took place; primarily album cover shots, places where movies and tv shows were filmed, and sites on which paintings were based. Many are from Manhattan, where I live. Manhattan is constantly being torn down and rebuilt anew, and I'm trying to find these places while they are still around. Thanks for visiting.

No maps necessary!

There's nothing like it. . . I developed this method because most people get lost in the MET and wind up not seeing lots of really cool, sometimes even bizarre, things -- and the free maps they give out are just too hard for the average person to follow on their first visit.

The MET has free Wifi . . .

The Met has free Wifi - so the phone signal is great. You're following a webpage, so there's no app to buy. But make sure your battery can last 90 minutes. You can take the entire tour on your computer or phone right now, too.

It's FUN for the whole family . . .

It's works for any age in any language. Kids love it. Fun for a party of friends, too! Do it together on a weekend night and end up at the Balcony Bar and enjoy the free chamber music. ADDENDUM #11) BOB EGAN'S: PLAY BAR CHORDS IN 30 MINUTES
