New York museums are incredibly expensive, so when we found out about Museum Mile night - the once-a-year event where the Upper East Side museums open their doors to misfits like us looking for free admission - we put it on our calendar!
Our first stop was the Met. Two free admissions = $40 value. Cha-ching!
Cheer up, dudes! It's Museum Mile night!
The Met has paintings of flowers, trees and a bearded man. Alyssa said they are famous or something.
For us, this was the best undiscovered part of the Met - the view from the roof!
On the downside, the Met custodial staff must be experiencing cutbacks - they are allowing a huge bird's nest to be built up there. Actually this is "art" made of bamboo that the artists will continue to build throughout the summer.
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Two free admissions = $30 value. Cha-cha-ching!
Of course, the entertainment of the museums was not enough for New Yorkers. On the street, there were kids' shows, jugglers and musical performers. Way to go over the top, New York!
Although it was very crowded, we had so much fun, especially considering the great value! Total savings = $90. ChachachachachachachaCHING!
