New York City's Best Museum Restaurants

"Opened in partnership with MoMA in 2005, this two-Michelin-starred dining destination elevated expectations for museum restaurants with refined tasting menus and impeccable service. The main dining room overlooks the museum’s sculpture garden and offers à la carte or eight-course tasting menus that showcase dishes like roast lamb with spiced cherries and Maine lobster atop smoked eggplant, while a more casual Bar Room serves local-favorite fried chicken and cocktails. The kitchen and bar often create dishes and drinks inspired by MoMA’s rotating exhibitions, making the menu feel actively tied to the museum’s programming." - Emily Saladino
