As Steve and I continue to post ideas on this blog, you will soon figure out that I tend to be the tightwad in our family. So, in that spirit, I decided to share one of my favorite free date night activities. Every Friday between 3 and 10 pm, the amazing Albright-Knox Art Gallery here in Buffalo opens its doors for a free evening called Gusto at the Gallery. All of the permanent art collection can be viewed for free, and there are also special movie showings, musical performances, lectures, and other sundry "culture" to experience each week. For example, tonight (June 20) there is a Belly Dancing performance! The special traveling exhibits at the museum are not usually included in the free admission, but you can pay a small fee if you absolutely must see one of those exhibits. Steve and I have been going on Gusto at the Gallery dates since our teens. They make a wonderful break from the basic "dinner and a movie" routine, especially if you round out the evening with a walk in neighboring Delaware Park (another of Buffalo's treasures). Alternatively, spend a little money and drive down Elmwood to one of our favorite eateries, Pano's, for fabulous fresh strawberry shortcake! But that's a post for another day...
To find out more about the Albright-Knox and Gusto at the Gallery, go to

UPDATE: Here are the directions from Buffalo Ward building.
