The Art of Drinking (at the Met)


What if you could see the Manhattan skyline, watch the sunset, see the expanse of Central Park from above the trees, have some drinks (and even a little bit to eat), and do it all while surrounded by a unique art installation?

On Friday and Saturday nights from May to October, the Metropolitan Museum of Art roof deck happy hour is a New York City experience like few others. Mingle with the after-work crowd, tourists from around the world, art lovers, and all-around cultured enthusiasts. Grab a drink and check out the art exhibition that is different every year. One year it was balloon animal metal structures, another it was a giant bamboo structure nicknamed "The Bird's Nest," another it was a replica of the Psycho House made from barnyard wood.

I love the melting pot of people who show up every weekend. I love speaking to them about where they're from, what drew them to come to the museum and the roof deck happy hour, and what else they will be doing while in New York City.

This is truly one of the most stereotypically "cool" things to do in New York City. It combines the uniqueness of the city's architecture, the beauty of Central Park, the romance of a Manhattan sunset, and the top of the world's art offerings.
