One of my favorite places to hang out in New York City is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This fascinating building is more than just a collection of beautiful artwork. It is a place to connect with interesting people who are doing the same thing you are- spending the afternoon in a remarkable city. You can purchase trinkets, have a nice meal, experience some of the best artwork in the world, or just hang out.
Located on 5th Avenue, the Met is in the perfect location for those touring the city. I love to wander the corridors looking for something I haven’t seen before. The Met is filled with tons of eye catching displays, and because there is so much to see, there are always surprises with each new visit. There is something for everyone, from fashion displays to Egyptian temples to unique antique collections.
My favorite thing about the Met is the number of cafes it has. You can dine at a different spot each time you visit, depending on your preferences for the day. Each café offers something unique in the atmospheres and menus. I love the variety because it matches the feel of the museum. There is never a reason to be bored. The best time to go to the museum is on the weekends in the evening. It’s a wonderful way to close out the night. You can view some exhibits, stop somewhere in the museum for a drink or dinner, and finish up with a stroll through some classic displays.
