As if the Met wasn't mind-blowing enough (we spent almost a full day just on the Egyptology section) the self-service cafeteria in the basement is just amazing. Help yourself to a massive array of antipasti, salads, cold meats and seafood and then pay by the weight of your plate. If any of London's South Kensington museums dished up this kind of food, Brits would be queuing round the block.
Metropolitan Museum of Art by Central Park at Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street (86th or 77th Street subway stations and then a walk)
