1stFans Ice Cream Social on the Roof of Brooklyn Museum (pics)

Posted on July 6, 2010 by

I love being a 1stFan of the Brooklyn Museum.  It's always interesting getting a personal, curated view of what's happening at one of my favorite cultural institutions in the city.  And at $25 a year, it's a steal!

On Saturday, 1stFans got a very special treat: an ice cream social on the roof of the museum!  Normally closed to the public, we had to sign a quite comprehensive waiver form, which I think covered the museum in the case I decide to throw myself off the roof, or am thrown off the roof, or hit someone else on the way down, or damage the tilework when I hit the ground.

(Or not.)

Our hosts Nitasha and Shelley handed out ice cream for all of us, which we enjoyed in between taking hundreds of pics of the skyline. 

Not very cultural or artsy, but what a cool visit!
