Roof Garden Café at the Met

Editorial Review

As erudite as decks get. Sculpture by likes of Roy Lichtenstein, Ellsworth Kelly, Jeff Koons rotates through to better your boozing experience. Still groping for a conversation starter? There’re sick skyline views (not exactly much nearby to block your westside sightlines), plus Cleopatra’s Needle from above and that whole park thingy. Burnt-out museum-goers and brainy singles order off short list of wines, beer, snacks, frozen drinks. Summer only, closes early, enjoy it while you can.
