Date Night at The Met
|
|
|
|
Every Friday and Saturday, 5–9 pm
The Met Fifth Avenue
Every Friday and Saturday night this spring, bring a friend or special
someone (or yourself!) for an evening of art, live music, drinks, and
more. Drop by an informal Gallery Chat with a Museum guide and "get
to know" a work of art, just like a first date. Plus, enjoy
buy-one-get-one drink specials and light fare at the American Wing Café.
Free with Museum admission, which is always pay-what-you-wish for New York State residents and
NY, NJ, and CT students with valid ID.
