New York City<\/a> has more cultural events than anyone could possibly enjoy in a lifetime. But museums and theater can be very expensive. Real New Yorkers know the ways around expensive admission fees and budget-busting tickets. Here are some of the best ways to experience NYC culture.<\/p>\n MoMA: (11 W. 53rd Street, Manhattan, between 5th and 6th Avenues.\u00a0 Subway: E\/M (5th Ave – 53rd Street), B\/D\/F (47th-50th Streets \/ Rockefeller Center))<\/p>\n MoMA, a New York fixture since 1929 and the first art museum in NYC devoted to the modern era, reopened in 2004 after a major renovation and is one of the most celebrated museums in the world. \u00a0With works by Picasso, Monet, Van Gogh, Andy Warhol, and many others, the museum is a must-visit — but admission isn\u2019t cheap.\u00a0 Normal price at MoMA is $25 ($14 for students), but if you go on Friday evenings (4pm-8pm) you get in for free.\u00a0 Yes, you have to line up early, and the museum might be a bit more crowded than usual, but if you\u2019re looking to save money, it\u2019s hard to beat free.\u00a0 (NOTE: Bank of America and Merrill Lynch credit card holders can also get in for free on the first weekend of every month — to MoMA and other NYC museums, and over 150 museums nationwide<\/a>.)<\/p>\nFree Friday Evenings at the Museum of Modern Art<\/h2>\n
