Morgan Library & Museum
225 Madison Ave., New York, NY 10016

This lovely museum, formerly the private library of financier Pierpont Morgan, showcases a superb collection of manuscripts and artifacts. Highlights include a Gutenberg Bible, musical manuscripts from the likes of Mozart, and the sole surviving manuscript of John Milton's Paradise Lost, plus so much more. The Renzo Piano light-drenched atrium provides a lovely airy setting for café snacking, but the Morgan Dining Room offers a contemporary menu (lobster and mache salad, sweet corn cannelloni), and even offers specials that correspond with ongoing events. Similarly, cocktails come with trivia and dates of origin to help further the museum's mission of furthering education and the pursuit of knowledge.
