MoMA features a variety of dining options created and operated by Danny Meyer's acclaimed Union Square Hospitality Group, including The Modern, recently awarded three stars by The New York Times.

Cafe 2Cafe 2
Located on the second-floor, Cafe 2 is taking the museum cafeteria to sophisticated new heights. Executive Chef Meg Grace offers guests the rustic Italian cooking of the Roman "cantinetta" or "rosticceria," serving an array of delicious and seasonal Italian foods, including handmade pastas, cured salumi, artisanal cheeses, panini, salads, soups, and simple desserts. Orders are placed and paid for at the counter, and then plated and served to guests at communal tables. Museumgoers can also take a quick break at the Espresso Bar to relax and recharge after an enriching day of viewing art. (An espresso and gelato bar is available seasonally in the sculpture garden.)
