Vacation On The Cheap II

A good way to spend a Friday afternoon is at the Whitney.  Not sure when, but at some time instead of hefty admission price you can pay whatever you want.  Fridays they are open until 9 PM.  Right now, there is a great exhibit by Jeff Koons.  Included with your just about free price is an audio tour and even museum tours if you hit it on the right time.

Many of the museums have pay what you want nights.  The Craft Museum on Columbus Circle has this on Thursday and Friday evenings, the MOMA has Target Fridays.  Many participate in Bank Of America weekends.  Just get a credit card and then cancel if you don't want to use it but keep the card to get into museums free.  Also, check before paying as city museums have only a suggested admission.  You can pay anything you want.  Save the $25 for lunch.

My dad has the Chase VIP card, and also my aunt. You can use it for free admission to NY Historical Society, Whitney, Botanical Gardens, Guggenheim, MoMa, maybe missing a few.

Also, I have been to Free MoMa Fridays.. It is great but lots take advantage of the free admission. It is very crowded though.. watch for crowds for those who go.

Also def take advantage of the Chase VIP cards to see the Train show at the Bronx Botanical Gardens. It is kind of a misnomer and really about the plants being made into city structures...but it is only a 20 minute walk through.
