if you live here, do this

I awake to 11 degrees and sunny skies. My favorite kind of weather. Finally, winter has arrived.

The day starts early with an 8:30 BAFTA Board Meeting.

My second appointment of the day is nearby. I am applying for a NYC ID.

The process is surprisingly quick. I arrive 40 minutes before my scheduled time. I'm expecting a crowded room and a long wait, but I'm surprised to find neither. It's a quiet morning and I am seen quickly.

I fill our the requisite form (basically name and address), show my NY driver's license, and have a photo taken. I'm in and out in ten minutes. I should receive my card within one to three weeks.

The benefits are many. Among them are free memberships to:

  • American Museum of Natural History
  • Museum of Jewish Heritage
  • Museum of Modern Art
  • Museum of the City of New York
  • New Museum
  • The Public Theater

And it costs zero.  Just one more reason to love New York.
