DO visit the MET! There is something here for every person to enjoy in this beautiful building- and space to see it. DO visit the roof top for a refreshing break and a beverage from the nice snack bar and take in the great view! - snap some photos! END your visit when you are tired and done looking. DO NOT eat at the museum restaurant- ugh! It is a glorified cafeteria with waiters, a limited, small portion, menu of over-priced food and beverages! Eat somewhere else after you leave - anywhere outside the museum would be better! SO, go to the MUSEUM, not the restaurant, and have a good time!
