Last week Brian, Duo and I headed uptown to the Museum Mile Festival, a museum block party where for three hours you have free access to ten museums, music, street art for the kids and lots and lots of people! Duo loved it all! He got to paint the street with chalk and walk around. No stroller means a lot of fun!
We also met up with our friends Nachi and Mimi (or Meme), we had coffee and pastries and then began our way to see which museum we would get to see. In a period of three hours and hundreds of people you choose one.
Every museum was packed! Obviously, the bigger ones like the Metropolitan and the Guggenheim were a no. Lines were at least two blocks long. So we stood in line for the Neue Gallerie. We were probably in line for an hour...and then it closed right before our eyes. Noooo! We did get free passes for next time, but most importantly we had a good laugh!
Museum Mile Festival and no museums. Ha! Well until next year! Have you ever heard or been to this festival? Is there something similar where you live?
