The Met was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens. The founders included businessmen and financiers as well as leading artists and thinkers of the day who wanted to open a museum to bring art and art education to the American people.

The Gilt

11.09.08

We went on Saturday night to the restaurant called "Gilt", it is in midtown Manhattan in the New York Palace Hotel. The place is magic, the courtyard is filled with four illuminated trees. Your arrival is welcomed by the bar, a beautiful changing color bar where I finally took my cosmo!
Everybody is here to make your night perfect. The room of the restaurant is not really big, they used the old style of the building and mixed it with a modern style which make the atmosphere really special.
The chef Christopher Lee makes the food…… AMAZING (the best I ever had actually), the dinner started with an amuse bouche, we immediately understood that the all dinner would be awesome. It was perfect.
The Gilt has over 1400 bottles of wine, the list was like a giant book. You can find cheap wines and also very expensive ones like $11000 the bottle.
Concerning the check, well, let say that it’s not the kind of restaurant we go everyday, but it worth it!
