A new age of New York City museum dining is upon us, with options for where to eat better than ever. Our city’s art, history, science, natural history museums and even the botanical gardens now pride themselves on full-service restaurants, some with white tablecloths, where the viewing public can sit for an hour or two and choose from a full-fledged menu that can include fine wines, cocktails, and fancy desserts. For many, diners can even visit restaurants without a trip through the museum — and since the food is often great, many New Yorkers do. Here are the city's six best museum restaurants.

Sometimes chain restaurants land with fanfare like Raising Cane’s did in the East Village not long ago, but other times they creep into a neighborhood nearly unannounced. Such was the case recently with G’s Cheesesteaks, also in the East Village. The brand was founded by Giacomo Pisano in 2015 in Staten Island’s Port Richmond, and subsequently established branches on the Jersey Shore in Point Pleasant and Toms River.

Popular San Francisco bagel maker Daily Driver has permanently closed the Cow Hollow location it opened in late 2023. A manager confirmed the closure to Eater over the phone on Monday, August 12, saying that business at the company’s Union Street location had been relatively slow. Founders Tamara Hicks and David Jablons opened the first location of Daily Driver in San Francisco’s Dogpatch neighborhood in 2019, helping usher in the Bay Area’s bagel wave by serving fresh-churned cream cheese and cultured butter and cranking out thousands of hand-rolled bagels a day. Just a year later, the duo added a quick-serve bagel shop at the Ferry Building. Both locations remain open.

In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.
