The Modern and Bar Room
$$-$$$$, French, Midtown West
Fodor's Review:
Both spots competing for the title of the country's best museum restaurant sit side-by-side on the ground floor of the New York MoMA. The Modern, run by restaurateur Danny Meyer, is two restaurants in one. Both offer the dazzling food of Alsatian chef Gabriel Kreuther. The formal dining room features a view of the museum's sculpture garden and an ambitious, pricey prix-fixe menu. The far more accessible and popular Bar Room lies just beyond a partition. Here you can find a dizzying collection of shareable plates ranging from the rustic (pork belly with 'kraut, Alsatian stew with conch and tripe) to the refreshing (arctic char tartare, oysters with leeks and caviar). Two or three make a fine if extravagant afternoon snack -- double that number and you have a full meal.
