Metropolitan Museum of Art: Cantor Roof Garden

From May through October, you can ascend to the Cantor Roof Garden (accessible by elevator from the first floor) on top of the Wallace Wing, which displays contemporary sculpture against the dramatic backdrop of New York's midtown skyline. In October this is a great place to see the colorful fall foliage in Central Park. Drinks and snacks are served, perhaps on the expensive side - though the breathtaking views make up for it.
