Through October 30, less than 2.5 miles from OfficeLinks’ Bryant Park location, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden Café offers New Yorkers a Martini Bar, an informal, outdoor setting with incredible breathtaking panoramic views of Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. Sandwiches, snacks, desserts, and beverages—including espresso, cappuccino, iced tea, soft drinks, wine, and beer—will be available at the Roof Garden Café daily from 10 a.m. until closing, as weather permits. A martini bar will also be open on the Roof Garden on Friday and Saturday evenings (5:30-8 p.m.).
Once you’ve grabbed your espresso or wine, perhaps even a delightful dessert to end your day, take in the artwork renowned British artist Anthony Caro – considered the most influential and prolific British sculptor of his generation. The installation will include a selection of sculpture in steel, painted and unpainted, spanning the artist’s career to date and highlighting principal aspects of his long career: engagement with form in space, dialogue between sculpture and architecture, and creation of new, abstract analogies for the human figure and landscape.
The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden’s past 13 annual installations have featured large-scale works by Ellsworth Kelly (1998), Magdalena Abakanowicz (1999), David Smith (2000), Joel Shapiro (2001), Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen (2002), Roy Lichtenstein (2003), Andy Goldsworthy (2004), Sol LeWitt(2005), Cai Guo-Qiang (2006), Frank Stella (2007), Jeff Koons (2008), Roxy Paine (2009), and Doug and Mike Starn (2010).
Take your happy hour up on the roof and enjoy an unmatchable view, cocktails and art.
