"A sweeping dining revamp is on the horizon at the museum’s Fifth Avenue flagship, where Rita Sodi and Jody Williams will partner with Restaurant Associates to reimagine food and drink, rolling out a mix of casual cafes and full-service lunch-and-dinner restaurants beginning in 2027 as part of a larger renovation of the 83rd Street and Fifth Avenue entrance and its dining and retail spaces; the plan is to reinvigorate existing offerings with the creativity and dynamism their restaurants are known for, aiming to serve the Met’s six million annual visitors." - Melissa McCart
