We may not agree come Tuesday, but one thing we all share is a love of living well for less. Here are a couple of ways to indulge without splurging.
Free Night of Theater: nationwide...check the link for a city near you; this runs through 10.31, with some shows in November still available (at least here in the Bay Area)
Museums on Us: grab your Bank of America card (or a friend who has one) and get FREE admission to top museums, nationwide! I heard a radio ad for this yesterday and thought it sounded too good to be true, but it's definitely for real. Here's a sampling...check the link above for your 'hood:
- San Francisco: Yerba Buena Center, de Young Museum (hosting the Yves St. Laurent exhibit...will review next week!!)
- Los Angeles: LACMA (hosting the Vanity Fair Portraits exhibit)
- New York: ICP (Intl. Ctr. for Photography) and the Met (!!!!)
- Boston/Cambridge: Museum of Fine Arts + my alma mater's most excellent Museum of Natural History @ Harvard, home of the famous glass flowers below (see the comment for latest exhibit info)
Leave a comment if there's a museum in your town worth the trek!










Thanks for the mention of the Harvard Museum of Natural History!
Hope you'll come back before March to see the new exhibition, Sea Creatures in Glass, glass animals such as jellies, anemones, octupus created of glass by the same glass artists, Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, who created the world-famous 'Glass Flowers'.
And the museum is always free to Mass residents Sunday mornings, 9 am to noon. More at www.hmnh.harvard.edu.
