The Metropolitan Museum of Art is quite large and impressive. You will most likely become hungry at some point in your visit. There are actually many dining options available at the Met. If you are there on a Friday or Saturday when the Met is open late, they have live classical music playing at the Great Balcony Bar between 4 and 8pm. I ended up at the Cafeteria eating a cupcake from Crumbs. The prices are a bit on par with the food stands at Central Park (read ummm…how much for that?) but considering that admission is pay what you will to see incredible art work, I guess you can’t really complain. What do you think? I happened to be there on the last day of the Francis Bacon exhibit. I’m glad I got to see some of it because a lot of people are talking about it. He was trying to paint the perfect mouth. I must admit, though, that the whole time I was looking at the Francis Bacon exhibit, I kept hearing the Beggin’ Strips commercial. You know, the one with the puppy dog begging, “Bacon…bacon-bacon-bacon!!!”

Peanut Butter & Co and Elvis
Another Elvis reference I found recently is at the adorable and ultra-fun Peanut Butter & Co in The Village. Yes, some people may scoff at the idea of paying $6-8 for a peanut butter sandwich but the peanut butter that they make is pretty darn good. It is a peanut butter paradise. They serve The Elvis, which is a “grilled peanut butter sandwich stuffed with bananas and honey. Try it with bacon for extra indulgence. Long live the King!” I ordered The Heat is On with chicken and pineapple. It was really good, actually. All sandwiches are served with chips and carrot sticks. PB & Co is also featured in the Scavenger Munch Hunt that Watson Adventures runs in the Village. An especially great hunt for any foodie at any level and you pick up great trivia bits along the way!
