Date Night at The Met

A couple running up the stairs of The Met Fifth Avenue for a date.

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 our cafes.

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.
