Date Night at The Met
“Date Night” Continues on Fridays and Saturdays at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Every Friday and Saturday night, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., is now Date Night at The Met. The concept was introduced last spring and has continued through the summer months (and perhaps beyond). We visited on one of the initial Friday evenings, and meandered the museum while sipping cocktails, listening to live music, and checking out the 5,000 years of art.
A note from the Met: Events and performers are subject to change. All events are 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. (Pay-what-you-wish tickets can only be reserved in person; allow extra time for lines.)
Sandro’s Opens a New Location on East 86th
Sandro’s is open on East 86th Street.
The venerable Sandro’s has re-opened, with a new location on East 86th Street, in the former Little Frog restaurant location (very sad to see that place go). Owner and chef Sandro Fioriti opened his former location on East 81st Street in 2006, serving his native Roman cuisine. According to the New York Times, he has been joined by his son, Sandro Fioriti Jr., for the past eight years, who runs the restaurant, with his father in the kitchen. The new location is expected to have the same menu and staff in the 56-seat space. Upon a quick tour, the dining room appears to be a bit more formal than Little Frog with nicely-spaced circular tables dressed in white linens.
