   Certainly don't miss the American Crafts Museum ( http://www.americancraftmuseum.org/ ) in midtown. Also, the Cooper Hewitt may have some furniture design objects on display. Even if it doesn't it's still a great small museum (Smithsonian's NYC Design museum - http://www.si.edu/ndm/ )

   Also, the John Nelder Gallery shows some of the highest quality studio art furniture by a good variety of artists ( http://www.johnelder.com/ ).

   Years ago I went to Garrett Wade, but the show room at the time was about 200 sq.ft. and not very exciting. It might have changed, but I think the address is the same, so I doubt it.

   And don't forget burgers and ribs at Virgil's (I think on 44th, maybe 45th, a half block east of Broadway - Times Square, near the ABC studio)!

   Have fun!

   *Try the Metropolitan Museum especially its American Decorative Arts department. There's also a gallery that shows the the development of style in furniture and other artifacts that's tucked away in a corner somewhere. Be prepared to spend all day there.
