Manhattan Blind Date Idea

Most blind dates are a risk.  I have not been on one in quite awhile but thought of this idea at the MOMA (New York's Museum of ModernArt) on Friday.  I imagine it would be nice whether or not yourdate turns out to the person you like.

1. Choose and artist currently on display at the Met. (Let's say you pick Paul Klee).
2. Go to the MOMA website, www.moma.organd look up the artist.  They have a nice little search tool thatlets you search the collection.  Print out the curators notes onone or two pieces. 
3. Over pre-museum drinks go over the information. (I think it might bea good idea to warn your date you might do this.   After aquick drink head over to the MOMA and go directly to thosepaintings. 
At this point if you don't like your date or vice versa, call a politeend to the evening.   At worst, you both learned somethingnew and interesting.  Maybe she even recommends you to afriend.  If you and your date continue to want to get to know oneanother you can wander the rest of the museum.   It's abeautiful  place to talk and walk.

I'm going to try to come up with other good ideas for firstdates.  Nothing is worse than spending 90 minutes over dinner withsomeone you don't like. 


By the way, the Munch Exibition on the sixth floor is great.  I highly recommend it. (on until May 8th)
