1 Looking for a nice girl to bring home to Mother? You might find her perusing the Communion dresses in “Catholics in New York” at the Museum of the City of New York.
2 If that would make your mom plotz, try finding your shayna maidel dancing the hora to Metropolitan Klezmer outside the Jewish Museum.
3 “Rococo: The Continuing Curve” at the Cooper-Hewitt is a prime hunting ground. After all, a guy with an eye for furniture probably has his own apartment.
4 You think the wolves in Cai Guo-Qiang’s “I Want to Believe” are crammed? Try getting into the Guggenheim tonight. Of course, close quarters have their benefits, too.
5 Swoon alert: Throughout the evening, Teutonic crooner Daniel Isengart will sing Weimar-era cabaret (with Todd Almond on piano) on the steps of the Neue Galerie.
6 If you need a breather, scope out the hotties on the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s front steps, a classic cruising spot.
7 Get high (literally) with Jeff Koons’s Pop Art sculptures on the Met rooftop. The less said about the phallic balloon dog, though, the better.
8 Avoid the kids painting outside El Museo Del Barrio and go into Central Park’s Conservatory Garden. You might find someone who shares your love of well-groomed landscapes—and distaste for children.
