Perched high above the museum, the open-air terrace offers a breathtaking panorama of Central Park and the New York City skyline, making it one of the most scenic rooftop destinations in the country. Guests can enjoy specialty cocktails, wine by the glass, housemade lemonade, and light bites such as sandwiches and salads while surrounded by specially commissioned contemporary artworks that change each season. The bar is open on Friday and Saturday evenings during the warmer months and is accessible with museum admission, offering a uniquely cultural and atmospheric rooftop experience in the heart of the city.
