Fountain at Met Museum
If you are tired of the same old dinner and a movie routine for date night, why not add a touch of culture and sophistication to your romantic evening by visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
Located in Central Park, The Met offers a unique and enchanting setting for a memorable date night.
On Friday and Saturday evenings, The Met stays open late, allowing you to experience the art in a more intimate setting. The crowds are smaller, and you'll have more room to explore the galleries at your own pace.
The museum has a number of eateries to choose from on Friday and Saturday evenings ranging from snacks to light meals, and cocktails. There is often live music and in the warmer months, there is the Cantor Roof Garden with not only magnificent views of Central Park but a new art installation every year.
The Met's architectural beauty alone is reason enough to make it your date night destination. As the sun sets and the lights inside the museum come to life, the whole place takes on a romantic ambiance that's perfect for a night of culture and connection.
Museum admission is required to enter.
