Living in New York has so many advantages..great shopping, Broadway shows, the hottest nightlife etc. But perhaps one of the most underappreciated advantages is the museums. We have some of the most amazing collections of art in this city and maybe we take it for granted a little. So Target is helping us out by giving us extra motivation by sponsoring free museum nights! In this economy any form of entertainment that is free is going to be high if not top of our list, so take advantage of our city and its art! Here is a list of participating museums, their respective addresses and when they are free.

I really heart MOMA – I think its time I visit again.
Tip: If you like the Museum of Natural History in UWS go about an hour before closing (its FREE) and see the dinosaurs (the best part is seeing T-Rex bones) and then head over to Shake Shack for a frozen custard to cool off from all the running around at the museum b/c you wanted to see everything.
