This is some rain on the parade news... the Matisse Picasso exhibit is one of those blockbusters requiring timed tickets ($20!) and there are no tickets available anymore for March 23. So unless Bob'sArt has already gotten tickets, there's no way (that I know of) to get them at this point for that day. Regular admission will get you to other parts of the museum, but there's not much there since it's now in a temporary space in Queens while the Manhattan building is being worked on. I don't think it's worth a trip across the river (spoken like a true provincial Manhattanite) to see just the other bits in MoMA QNS. So any other ideas for Sunday? Jazz brunch somewhere maybe. And if people are in the mood for museum strolling and chatting, there's always the Met, which now has an exhibit of Leonardo da Vinci drawings, or there's the exhibit about Einstein at the Natural History Museum on the west side. The new planetarium is part of that museum, too. I love that place and would go anytime anyone has the slightest interest in that. Ideas anyone? > Also, for those of you going to W2W, Symphony Space is offering a "Priority > Admission" for 2 for those making a $50 donation prior to March 22. I'm glad to see that it's $50 for admission for two. I don't mind spending the $50 but didn't think my companion for the day would appreciate finding out about that at the last minute. > I went ahead and took the plunge, it's a donation for a good cause plus I wanted to > make sure I got in! :~P One thing about having so many people in this cozy little city is that it's necessary to plan things WAY in advance... Unless it's a holiday weekend, it's difficult to do anything that's been publicized on the spur of the moment. It's a wonderful place, though, really!
