FREE COOPER-HEWITT!

Get your fill of the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum for free from Sunday, October 14 through Saturday, October 20, 2007. Find more information about the National Design Week promotion here.

You can also vote for the People's Design Award over here. I'm so impressed by Debbie Glasserman's Gluten-Free Alphabet (pictured) for the Gluten-Free NYC Boutique that I nominated it! (You can find it—and vote for it, and comment on it—by searching for gluten at the PDA site.)

Related events include a Sunday, October 21 discussion on "Crimes of Taste" featuring John Waters and—as if Waters weren't enough—Simon Doonan, among others. (Note that there's a 2-for-1 discount.) And, speaking of Waters, there's also a crazy Broadway Backstage with David Rockwell event on Friday, October 19 involving dinner at Nobu 57 and the show Hairspray, followed by a backstage tour—all for a mere $500!
