I finally went to Cafe Sabarsky last weekend after being on my to do list forever! It was easy to find via cab and worh the trip.

If you want to take a break for refreshments while visiting the amazing collections at the MET, you could do worse than stopping by at this cafe/restaurant. Located inside the 'Neue Galerie' (which also has some interesting German/Austrian art exhibits) it tries to recreate the ambience of typical Viennese-style 'Kaffeehaus' . It also features live piano music. I noticed it... more

This place is a find for several reasons--it's in a small museum of early 20th century Austrian/German crafts that takes less than an hour to visit, it's just a block above the Met on 5th Avenue so a nice retreat if it's really mobbed there.
