Great Hall Balcony Bar

Frommer's Review

One of Manhattan's best cocktail bars is only open on Friday and Saturday -- and only from 4 to 8:30pm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art transforms the lobby's mezzanine into a cocktail-and-classical-music lounge twice weekly, offering a marvelous only-in-New York experience. The music is usually provided by a piano and string quartet. You'll have to pay the $10 admission, but the galleries are open until 9pm.
