Why not go to both?

The new Batman movie is out today, so, after you see it, why not follow it up with a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan? They have a special exhibit on superheroes, paying close attention to the (er) fashion (?) associated with them.

After you stroll through that exhibit, have lunch on the roof among the Jeff Koons sculptures,and then check out the rooms dedicated to "Krishna: Mythology and Worship." But, you better hurry, the Krishna exhibit closes on July 28th.

There's also a special exhibit (open until August 10th) on Pop Art, featuring works by Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol, Tom Wesselmann, Joe Brainard, Jim Dine, Richard Lindner, and Wayne Thiebaud.

Taj Mahal and the Skatalites are playing a free concert at Central Park Summerstage on the 27th. The Met in the morning, the Park all afternoon, stopping at the many different ice cream stands which abound in the park... Sounds like the perfect day, doesn't it? (Watch, it'll rain!)
