Save the Date for *NYC Trash!* We're seeking Miss Subways 2017 ### On Thursday, September 28, The City Reliquary Museum will host [The 2017 Miss Subways Pageant. ](http://cityreliquary.org/miss_subways17)

With a wink and a nod to the[ Miss Subways pageants held in NYC between 1941 and 1976](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Subways), this event is a call to arms for advocates and lovers of the NYC underground in its current moment of crisis. In a night of performances spanning the classy, the trashy, the weird, and the whimsical, contestants will demonstrate their love, frustration, and ultimate devotion to their subway line of choice. But only one will take home the transit tiara!

[Tickets are on sale for $20-$60 ($17 for Reliquary members). Space is limited, so buy now!!](https://www.artful.ly/store/events/13129) Beverages available by suggested donation, with beer courtesy of Brooklyn Brewery.
