On Wednesday, Aug. 14, there will be a “Do Your Own Thing” trip with a drop-off at the Met Museum; now on a first-come, first-served basis with no one-way trips.
If you go to the Met, they have new exhibits which include Alicja Kwade’s “Parapivot,” two rooftop sculptures of steel and stone; “Camp: Notes on Fashion”; Icelandic artist Ragnor Kjartansson’s “Death Is Everywhere,” a contemporary seven-channel video installation with pairs of twins; the long-running “Art of Native America,” Dutch Masterpieces, and “Epic Abstraction”; plus the permanent collection.
You can also go to other museums or art galleries, shop, meet a friend for lunch or explore the neighborhood. There are plenty of bars and cocktail lounges around if you are alcohol-inclined.
