An Afternoon At The MET

This past Friday afternoon, Emma and I had a sister date at the MET. After meeting, we wandered through the Sackler wing to check out the Temple of Dendur and Charles Engelhard Court. Both rooms are super light-filled and so pretty (here's a peek on instagram).

Next, we rode the elevator up to the 5th floor to see the roof garden and grab a drink.

Admittedly, it was hot and crowded up there, so after taking in the views, we opted to forgo the café and retreat back inside the museum where we detoured over to the Modern wing (my favorite). I love how the bright, bold colors in the contemporary paintings pop against the white walls and blonde wood floors.

Emma just happened to coordinate perfectly with the art!

After working up our appetites in the museum, we strolled down the Upper East Side before settling in for a yummy Italian lunch at Bella Blu.

As always, thanks for the fun afternoon, sistah bean.

P.S. An afternoon at the Louvre. I find it fascinating how much this post visually contrasts with that one. The Louvre is so fancy and ornate and...French.
