Exactly one week ago I did something (to me) very, very exiting: I got up early on a weekday and went to the museum before work. The Museum of Modern Art (or short: MoMa) was hosting its last so-called “Quiet Mornings” in the month of October.

At the beginning of September the Brooklyn Botanical Garden hosted its last member event for the summer. It was a night filled with music, cocktails, fun and more.

The MTA Nostalgia Train springs into existence every year around the holiday season, from the end of November to the end of December. While I had taken great advantage of it last year, I’ve also come to ride Read More »
Our next stop in our quest to redeem most memberships offered by the NYC ID was the furthest destination away from Brooklyn: The Bronx Zoo. I had been here several times throughout the past five years. I remember cherishing some great Wednesdays, when my work schedule was still flexible and I could take advantage of the free weekday the Zoo offered. Read More »
Remember back in May when I was talking about the free NYC ID and all the cultural perks that come with it? Well, starting September I actually realized that I only have a couple of months left to redeem all of my free memberships until the end of the year so I made sure to get on it.
