MoMA

The MoMA is free on Friday nights!  The Museum of Modern Art offers free Friday nights for anyone and everyone--you don't even have to have a student I.D.  Keep in mind that this place will be PACKED full of people, but if you don't have any money and still want to enjoy some culture, it's a great option.

My roommate and I went last Friday night and enjoyed looking at the art, feeling smart and cultured, and taking pictures.  We also enjoyed the price-tag of it all.  Emilie even got to take her picture with good ole James Dean.

It was a fun night until we got to the top floor and saw the special exhibit of naked people self-mutilating themselves (beware of the Abramovich exhibition!), but besides that-it was a great time!

PulseJFK---greatest thing since sliced bread.

If you are a young person (or want to act like a young person) in New York, you MUST get a Twitter account and follow PulseJFK.  They let you know of movies and shows filming in New York that you can go be a part of.  They tell you all the open bars and restaurant deals for each night.  They tell you all the promotional events and free things that you can take advantage of each day.

New York is such a big city that businesses have to have free events or give away gifts from time to time and PulseJFK gives you up-to-date info so that you CAN have fun in New York on a budget!
