meet me at the met


is there anything more lovely in the fall then catching the view over central park from the roof garden café at the metropolitan museum of art?

we love the egyptian (sackler) wing, the period rooms, even the underground on-site parking at the met. but if you time your visit well, you can take the elevator up to the fifth floor and treat yourself to a jaw-dropping, up close and personal view of the changing leaves, treetops, and park view apartments that march up and down central park west.

a glass of wine, a pellegrino, or even a snapple will do - it's never crowded up there, although there is a semi-constant flow of people. you can loll about for a bit, soaking in the autumn afternoon sun, then continue on your way, refreshed and inspired.

somehow it feels as if it's all there, just for you (and 20 million other people - just don't think about that for the time)...
