Cooped up in Brooklyn? Tired of waiting for one of the bus islands outside the Barclays Center? Seen both movies at the Brooklyn Heights Cinema and looking for something to do? Why not head over to the New York City Transit Museum in Boerum Hill?
Just like the buses and subways, the subterranean museum is back open—we guess the out-0f-service subway station it’s located inside did not flood—and also like the buses and subways, admission is free of charge. The museum says in an email, “What better way to pay tribute to the incredible recovery effort of NYC Transit than to open the doors to the one institution that focuses on the history and impact of the region’s public transportation?” Their full announcement is below.
What better way to pay tribute to the incredible recovery effort of NYC Transit than to open the doors to the one institution that focuses on the history and impact of the region’s public transportation? This morning the New York Transit Museum sent this e-mail to its followers. The Museum is open today, Thursday November 1st, from 10 – 4pm, free to the public. Starting Friday the Museum will charge regular admission ($5/child, $7 adult), and be open for regular hours (Tue -Fri: 10 – 4; Sat and Sun: 11 – 5; closed on Mondays).
