June 3, 2008 was the annual Museum Mile Festival in NYC. I decided to check it out for the first time, and I ended up really enjoying myself. There are 23 blocks closed off, like a big block party on 5th avenue between 82nd and 105th street. Nine museums are free entrance including the MET and the Guggenheim, two of which are my favorites. I was really interested in seeing the “Superheroes in Fashion” exhibit which was really amazing at the MET and was able to do so for free! There were tons of vendors- a lot of family activates and a whole section just for kids to draw with chalk and make their own works of art. There were so many people-but not in a too crowed type of way-and there were all different ages having a wonderful time. This once a year event was fabulous and I truly recommend going next year. - Kiersten
