To do what? Most people don't come to NYC for quiet.
Normally, the smaller museums might be quiet, but we're hopping with tourists right now. Here's a tip: If you go to the Met Museum, go to the Lehman galleries. For some reason, they're always deserted.
I like this small museum around W. 155th St. and Broadway, so Upper Manhattan/ Washington Heights area Hispanic Society of America - Washington Heights - New York, NY | Yelp All wood-carved, with beautiful examples of art from the Iberian Peninsula. Few go there; it's kind of a hidden gem on the campus of Boricua College. Check for hours open.
The museum is quiet and peaceful; the surrounding neighborhood is loud, LOL.
Also --This book is chock full of quiet spots in every borough. I'm about to give it as a gift to a family member who seeks out such places for down-time between work appointments all over the city. I just leafed through it in the bookstore; it looked pretty good.
