“It's a day off for some lucky New Yorkers (thanks, Chris!), but that doesn't mean you should rest on your cultural laurels. Head to the Met, normally closed on Mondays, where select galleries are open despite the holiday. We're betting most tourists aren't in on this secret, so hopefully you'll avoid the swarms as you peruse the latest exhibition, American Stories: Paintings of Everyday Life, 1765-1915, which opens today. Roxy Paine's amazing installation on the roof, Maelstrom, has also been extended through November, so, weather permitting, check out the stainless steel forest/vascular system, the artist's largest work to date.”
