\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>By Lisa Cochran<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Going to art museums isn\u2019t enough anymore. To get the full experience, people need to eat in one of their restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Eating in museum restaurants has become increasingly common as museums have branched out to the culinary arts in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Despite the higher prices of these restaurants, patrons say that the cost is worth it for the ambiance and highly aesthetic food presentation common in these art museum restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Some museums, such as the MoMa and the Neue Galerie, even hire professional chefs and specialized sommeliers, restaurant managers said. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 For some museums, the restaurants follow a theme in conversation with the museums themselves, such as the Jewish museum\u2019s <\/span>Russ and Daughters<\/span><\/i>, serving traditional Jewish food and the Neue Galerie\u2019s <\/span>Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky<\/span><\/i> which prides itself on its Austrian cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0These museum caf\u00e9s are immensely popular and welcome many customers on a day to day basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s really nice to sit down and eat after an entire day of walking in a museum, it\u2019s like a cherry on top,\u201d said Elvira Eykhmans of New York, a patron of Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky.<\/span><\/p>\n

MoMA: Caf\u00e9s 1 and 2 Catch Foodies<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Patrons of modern art are attracted to MoMa\u2019s<\/span> Caf\u00e9s 1<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>2<\/span><\/i> by their black marble wallpapers and the aroma of roasting coffee beans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Caf\u00e9 1<\/span><\/i> is a counter-service coffee and pastry stand that adheres to the same black and white theme. The cup holders of the caf\u00e9 read the Robert Rauschenberg quote, \u201cAn artist is a diplomat, a prophet, a historian, a poet.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Black-colored cube-shaped seating overlooking the MoMa courtyard gives coffee drinkers an area to sit and chat. Unfortunately, there are no tables in this area.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cThis is supposed to be a kind of grab and go thing, <\/span>Caf\u00e9 2<\/span><\/i> is where you sit down to eat,\u201d said <\/span>Caf\u00e9 1<\/span><\/i> barista, Michael.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Caf\u00e9 2<\/span><\/i> is a French and Italian restaurant located right next to <\/span>Caf\u00e9 1<\/span><\/i>, following the same black and white aesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cI think this restaurant really fits the typical modern art fan. It\u2019s very trendy\u201d said Davis McCullough of Manhattan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0McCullough recommended the restaurant\u2019s toasted foccacia while a <\/span>Caf\u00e9 2<\/span><\/i> host, Isaiah, recommended the mixed salad.<\/span><\/p>\n

Russ and Daughters Rises in Popularity<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Located in the basement of the Jewish museum on museum mile, <\/span>Russ and Daughters<\/span><\/i> serves traditional and kosher Jewish food for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Despite the fact that <\/span>Russ and Daughters<\/span><\/i> is often referenced as the restaurant in the Jewish museum, the restaurant actually originated on 127 Orchard Street, said maitre d\u2019, Shir Brickner.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This lower East Side appetizing store founded when Polish immigrant, Joel Russ, came to Manhattan and began a catering service with the intent of targeting Jewish immigrants, the company\u2019s website says. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Russ later hired his daughters Ida, Anne, and Hattie to work for the company, giving it the name <\/span>Russ and Daughters<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Employee Jon said this was not a feminist statement but merely an act of pragmatism as Russ needed help with his company.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The history of this establishment fits appropriately with the theme of the art museum, both celebrate Jewish culture through artistic means.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Russ and Daughters<\/span><\/i> puts emphasis on its adherence to kosher standards and maintains that it serves \u201ccomfort food,\u201d Brickner said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0This restaurant is most popular during the brunch hour while its appetizer counter sees crowds at varying times of day, Brickner said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cMy personal favorites are the knishes and the Chocolate Babka French Toast,\u201d said frequent diner, Shannon Clarke. \u201cThey\u2019re divine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Neue Trends in Austrian Food at Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky<\/span><\/i> is an upscale Austrian-themed restaurant appropriately located inside the Neue Gallerie.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The 19th century dark, wooden walls and German paintings located in <\/span>Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky<\/span><\/i> contribute to the Germanic atmosphere of the restaurant, along with a selection of Austrian pastries encased in glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0According to employee, Richard, the most popular menu item is the strudel with Schlagsahne (whipped cream). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0While some customers complained about the high prices of this restaurant, most said <\/span>Caf\u00e9 Sabarsky <\/span><\/i>was worth the cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s nice to just sit here really, it\u2019s a nice atmosphere and I like how it feels like you\u2019re in Europe,\u201d said Kyle of Brooklyn.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0The restaurant\u2019s menu also features an array of Viennese coffees and a lengthy assortment of teas and German wines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Outside the caf\u00e9, a plaque gives a brief biography of Serge Sabarsky, the caf\u00e9\u2019s namesake and a co-founder of the Neue gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Sabarsky was an art collector and connoisseur of Gustav Klimt who was born in Vienna and later moved to New York where he fought in WWII for the American army as an infantryman.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0Following the war, he became an architect and opened his first gallery on Madison Avenue.<\/span><\/p>\n
