One of the best parts about this city are its museums. Whether you're interested in paintings, photographs, scuplture or even graffitti...it's all here. There are so many that it kind of gets ridiculous. I mean really, who could possibly be interested in The Museum of Sex?

Ok, maybe more than a few - but you get the gist, right?

My point is, there is something here for everyone...and if you're on your toes, you can see it all without spending a great deal of cash. Only tourists pay full price (because most people who live here can't afford the cost of admission).

On Fridays the Museum of Modern Art is free from 4pm to 8pm. It is an amazing collection of things that make you go "hmmmm", and often you're left wondering why you didn't think of it first. Paper mache blobs? They've got em. Coat hangers twisted in a knot? Yeah, they're there. Anything and everything that defies convention is prominently displayed in MoMA's galleries.

But they've got an awesome sculpture garden. It's a courtyard (pictured above) whose most distinguishing feature isn't the art...it's the view. Talk about cozy! I like how the city closes in from above, like an overbearing babysitter keeping watch over the crib. The sounds of sirens and car horns are muted, creating a soft quiet in the heart of midtown. I wish I could live there.

Screw the Pixar exhibit - I'll take the skyscrapers anyday.
