We'll visit Manhattan’s Central Park, see the impressive Andrew Carnegie Mansion (a.k.a. The Cooper Hewitt Museum of Design), see the 5th Avenue mansion where Lady Gaga attended high school, and dig the French Gothic Chateau style of The Jewish Museum while checking out tons of filming locations and celebrity homes.
