Date Night at The Met
Fridays and Saturdays
5:00–9:00 pm
Have a night out at The Met! Every week we stay open late for Date Night. Stroll through the galleries, enjoy live music, and take part in fun activities. You can also enjoy two-for-one drinks specials or a festive treat from one of our cafes, and celebrate the season with holiday-themed programming throughout December.
Whether you're bringing a date, a friend, or coming solo, The Met is your perfect night out every Friday and Saturday.
All events are free with Museum admission, which is always pay-what-you-wish for New Yorkers.
Activities
MetLiveArts presents an array of live music performances featuring a rotation of NYC's finest musicians in collaboration with the groundbreaking string quartet ETHEL.
Make your night even more memorable with drinks specials and holiday-inspired snacks at The Great Hall Balcony Cafe, The Petrie Court Cafe, and The American Wing Cafe.
Capture the spirit of the season with photos in front of our iconic decorations celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah. Encounter a towering twenty-foot blue spruce shimmering with lifelike figures, and appreciate one of the largest-known silver Hanukkah lamps, both honoring traditions of light and joy.
