7. Restaurant at Gilder
The Restaurant at Gilder offers full table service—a revolutionary first for the American Museum of Natural History. And the food (described as American cuisine with regional and global influences) is fresh, elegant, and nutritious. The beverage selection highlights local breweries, distilleries, and coffee roasters. The seating is slightly austere, but that’s appropriate, and the honeycomb ceiling carries out a Gilder theme.
For the Gilder Center, opening the museum served an edible garden of steamed and raw vegetables with a Green Goddess dressing.
The Gilder Center opens at 10AM on May 4th! Entry to the new wing is included with general admission, but additional tickets are required for the Davis Family Butterfly Vivarium and the Invisible Worlds immersive experience.
