Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
The Modern - Dining Room or Bar
With all the New York City Tourist Attractions too see, time may become a concern. Maybe you can squeeze in lunch and a visit to the MOMA, by eating at their restaurant, The Modern. This is not a typical museum cafe. Everything from the food to the atmosphere and scenery is exquisite. The Modern is part of Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, which also owns Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Eleven Madison Park, Tabla and many other of NYC's top rated restaurants. The dining room overlooks a wonderful sculpture garden in the middle of the museum and food itself is practically art. See more Insider Tips on NYC Museums.
Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (The Met)
Every Friday and Saturday night, from 6-8 pm, The Met hosts a classical string quartet above the Great Hall. The atmosphere is magical and it doesn't get more quintessential New York.
The MET Roof Garden Café
You can purchase cocktails and appetizers at the Balcony Bar, and if you get there early enough, grab one of the little tables with candles. A lovely way to see some beautiful art and no ticket purchase is necessary.
During the summer, be sure to check out the Martini Bar on the Roof Garden Café, an informal, outdoor setting with breathtaking panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
