If you're poor and want to go to MoMA
If you're an "economically disadvantaged" person in New York City and you have a burning desire to see the treasures of MoMA but can't afford that wildly outlandish $20 admission fee that sets so many people's teeth on edge, here are a few suggestions about how you can climb that garden fence and hobnob with the moderately affluent anointed:
Skip Christmas with the Kranks and Bridget Jones 2. Cha-ching, twenty bucks!
Wait a few months until Halo 2 becomes a "classic" and you can pick it up for $19. Not everyone has to have it on opening day and you'll save $30. Now you can sip a latte while you're relishing the Van Gogh.
Trust me, the Yankees will be in the playoffs again next year. If you skip just one regular season game, your entry to MoMA is assured.
Alternatively, visit galleries. While the hours are often inconvenient, they're free of charge to all - highborn and low, rich and poor, fools and wise men.
To hear some tell it, you'd think there was only one museum in all of New York.
Why do you have "economically disadvantaged" in quotes in this post? It sounds like a nasty attack on people without much money.
Wealthy folk use the euphemism "economically disadvantaged" in order not to sully their tongues with the word "poor." It's a criticism of false concern from the art elite, not an attack on people with no money.
I wouldn't be so sure about the Yankees.
