Cafe at venerable art museum gets major upgrade

Now the dining facilities at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York will be almost as much a work of art as their surroundings.

Gone are the 1940s-era cafeteria and wait-service restaurant with their cramped, barely accessible kitchen. In their stead stands the new spacious cafeteria and a new restaurant, the Petrie Court Cafe (another restaurant, the American Wing Cafe, is scheduled to open next year).

Overseeing this new dining empire for dining services management company Restaurant Associates will be Jayson Brown, formerly the chef at the spectacular Conde Nast cafeteria, also an RA account.
