THE MODERN, New York, USA

A bite in the Big Apple is not cheap so when in doubt check out the Museums. I found The Modern at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) a good choice for lunch. With its separate street-level entrance on West Fifty-third Street it allows diners to enjoy the restaurant and bar beyond Museum hours.

The Modern is a fine dining restaurant offering original Alsatian inspired cuisine in the Dining room which overlooks the Sculpture Garden or, there is the more casual Bar Room dinning area which is good for lunch. Here I enjoyed a small cassoulet of tongue (which I know has a limited audience) and seafood fare.

The meals were pleasantly presented and the portions a manageable size instead of the usual American pyramid of food. Wine may be ordered from an extensive international list, by the glass if preferred.
Price: US$15-50
Address: 9 West 53rd Street, New York, NY 10019
Rating: ***
