Peanuts in Hudson Square
In the Peanuts comic strip, Lucy, set up in her psychiatric booth, would offer therapy and advice to Charlie Brown and the gang, which sometimes was misguided and not very helpful. Charlie would be depressed and Lucy would tell him to, “Snap out of it”, “Eat a jelly sandwich”, and ask for “5 cents, please.”

Art, on the other hand, is therapeutic and can instantly brighten your day and put a smile on your face. Popping up in Hudson Square and the surrounding streets around the Children’s Museum of Art, are Peanuts themed gates and walls and they’re not 5 cents, but completely free to see!
