David MilbergJuly 13, 2016One of the best people watching locations in the city and also a great place to meet up with friends- just be very specific about where you are sitting
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍June 6, 2018End your visit with a little break on The MET steps. (Gossip Girl shoutout) if you like Gossip Girl, spend some time on the steps because that's where they had yogurt every morning!Upvoted 3 days ago
YaniqueAugust 29, 2014I'll spare you the lame Gossip Girl References but sitting on the Met Steps is an NYC tradition that has withstood the test of time! Grab a coffee from Starbucks and catch up on your reading!
sMarch 13, 2019the Met is so good, even their steps are an attraction on their own. if you’re visiting or just in the area, definitely do stop by for some cool photos
Alan MortonJuly 27, 2017Very nice area to chill and eat before going in- however if your a local stay out the way there is way to much of the same thing all the time - seen the same guys dancing 100's of times
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 8, 2020The rooftop installation is fantastic. So good to have the MET open again.
AlAnoud A AlGhunaimAugust 22, 2017Gossip Girl fans, pinkberry at the Mets and it's like you're an instant upper east sider❤️✨
It’s really nice to sit and chill during spring and summer ... but people still sit there winter time lol
Zina MalcolmAugust 12, 2011Get a cupcake from The cupcakes & shakes cart at the bottom of the steps. The mooncake cupcake was topped with valrhona chocolate icing - divine!
- Kimmie OhhAugust 3, 2020This is a great spot to people watch :). Enjoy the food carts in front of the Met.

Sofia RodriguezMay 28, 2012DON'T sit in the center!! People are coming and going and the security guard will come and ask you to move!
Alex RobinsonNovember 28, 2011Grab at coffee at Dean and Deluca (at 85th and Madison) and enjoy the life of Blair Waldorf and her minions on these fabled steps.
Lou MoranJune 2, 2019The Met has over 150 statues without heads, and over 150 heads without statues – why don’t they just put them together?

Patri PROctober 8, 2013De verdad que no me imagino a Blair Waldorf desayunando ahí con una fila infinita de aficionados al arte tratando de entrar al museo. :)- Manuel GPOctober 11, 2015Nada mejor como unas escaleras con tantas culturas diferentes para hacer una parada y tomar un perrito.
Leonardo Leonardi BoaventuraFebruary 20, 2019Um dos museus mais fantásticos de NY!!! Comparável com o uffizi em Florença ... vale a pena demais...
Fabio PerdigaoOctober 1, 2018Bem movimentado, atentar para rota vermelha do guia te ajuda economizar tempo e não andar perdido no museu
