Now that winter is creeping in, we’re ditching our outdoor activities for some time inside — and we found the perfect way to make the most of those cold evenings.
The Met Museum is hosting date nights in the comfort of its beautiful (and warm) indoor space every Friday and Saturday night! We couldn’t think of a better way to usher in the weekends in NYC.
The museum invites you to bring your special someone, a friend, or come solo for an unforgettable night at one of the most enchanting and iconic establishments in the city.
The evening will go from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., for three magical hours of live music, drinks, and sweeping gallery exhibits.
Museum guides will be scattered across the galleries so onlookers can engage and ask questions about pieces as they “‘get to know’ a work of art, just like a first date,” shared the Met.
And what would date night be without some cocktails? The museum will offer drink specials, along with light fare in the American Wing Café and Petrie Court Café. Members at the Evening Hour Levels or above can even head to the Balcony Lounge for an exclusive menu of small bites.
Same to regular admissions, tri-state area students and New York state residents can pay-what-they-wish. Otherwise, visitors can enjoy date night for free along with their admissions ticket.
Advanced tickets are not required for date night.
