"The Dining Room at the Met is surprisingly void of any art or flashy interior design, but that’s part of its charm. The restaurant was once only open to members and senior staff, which sort of explains why it has the feel of an extremely nice break room. It’s a calm space with big windows overlooking Central Park where you can take a break from thinking too hard about Flemish Baroque paintings and eat some fresh scallop fettuccine.
