NYC Rooftop Bars

The Roof Garden Cafe and Martini Bar at the Met is an unexpected surprise both for newcomers and those who have gone to the Met throughout the years. In addition to serving drinks and light fare, the rooftop bar includes a sculpture garden with artwork by British artist Anthony Caro. And, as if there isn't enough to look at, the Roof Garden Cafe offers views of the city that just don't get any better.

In addition to cocktails, beer, wine, and frozen drinks, the bar serves espresso drinks (you can ask for them with liqueur, if you please). If you're lucky, you'll secure a spot under the Wisteria-laced trellis. It's no wonder New York magazine called the Roof Garden Cafe the Met's best kept secret f once you go, you'll be likely to keep it a secret, as well.
