On Saturday, Evan, Megan, and I hit up the Bronx Zoo. We each got in free with our cards from Bank of America. Every first Saturday of the month, BOA sponsors free admission to 100 venues across the U.S. So if you have a credit or debit card or whatever, check out where you can get in for free!At the Bronx Zoo, the must-see exhibit is the one with the gorillas. In addition to the cost of admission, it's $3. Not a bad deal when you get in for free!
I loved the gorillas so much. There were about 10 gorillas in all, including three toddlers chasing each other and an old silverback who was lounging around. I wanted this one gorilla to fall in love with me and run away with me King Kong style... and then I found out it was a girl.
Hm.
Then last night was the annual Museum Mile. The museums on the east side were all free and open late. We wanted to see the Guggenheim. Evan and I planned to meet up on the west side before heading over. And he ran into our friend Mitzi who was heading to meet her fiance, Tony! What luck! Tony had been waiting in the long line for the Guggenheim, so luckily we got in without having to wait.
It was so cool inside! I loved the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. He designed it so that it was conical, which allowed us to take the 
elevator to the top and just walk the spiraling ramp to the bottom. I was excited that the museum was filled with art from my two favorite eras: Impressionism and Modern. So much fun... for free!
