This morning the Cheap Chic took Lexisworks (who is visiting from CO and a cheap chic herself) all the way up to East Harlem (on a Sunday morning, at 10am) to the Museum of the City of New York. As I stated in a previous post, on Sundays from 10am-12pm, the Museum has FREE admission. Plus, it's a fabulous museum to share with out-of-town visitors as it has some great exhibitions on NYC and really just in general.
However, when we went to collect our tickets this morning we were informed that...
The Museum of the City of New York
NO LONGER HAS FREE ADMISSION ON SUNDAYS.
When I asked the Admissions employee when this change took affect and he said he just found out THIS MORNING when he came on his shift.
Now I know times are hard, especially for museums in this economy, but not having free admission for (a measly) 2 HOURS a week (on a Sunday, no less) AND not updating this information on their website (especially since I checked the website right before leaving to catch the subway)??

Additionally, ADULT ADMISSION INCREASED to $10 per adult
(also not updated on their website).

NOT COOL. SO NOT COOL.
Shame on the Museum of the City of New York. At least they should have updated their website before making the change. And maybe switching the policy to Pay-What-You-Wish on Sundays??? Just a thought...Here's a Cheap Chic tip for you. Information on a website or from personal experience is not always accurate. Call ahead of time (especially in this economy).
Also don't forget The Frick Collection is Pay-What-You-Wish from 11AM-1PM on EVERY SUNDAY.
