Possible Activities the Weekend Before the CAA Reception in NYC

We have compiled a list of activities we could organize for groups of 15 to 20 people. Please let us know ASAP if any of these pique your fancy. Tours and visits generally range from $20-$45 per person. There are a few questions we also ask you to answer below the list of proposed activities. Please respond by February 6, 2026. Many thanks!
1.Visit to the New York Botanical Garden (in the Bronx) on Saturday, April 25, during the Orchid Show. We would have a group rate, but you would be responsible for getting to the Garden yourself – either by train from Grand Central Station or by car.
2.Visit to historic Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx for trolley car tour. You would be responsible for getting there, most likely by cab or Uber.

11.Metropolitan Museum: Guided tour of "Raphael: Sublime Poetry" (the first comprehensive exhibition on Raphael in the United States, bringing together more than 200 of the artist’s greatest masterpieces and rarely seen treasures to illuminate the brilliance of Raphael’s extraordinary creativity)
