About this place Metropolitan

Metropolitan: a reliable spot for a good meal and a relaxed time, drawing a loyal LGBTQ+ crowd.

This New York institution knows what it is: a neighborhood joint that’s been serving its queer community for years. You’ll find it in Williamsburg at 559 Lorimer St, open every day from 2pm.

The food, a mix of local and international dishes, is better than the no-frills décor suggests. They serve lunch and dinner, keeping the kitchen open until 10pm Sunday-Thursday, and 11pm Friday and Saturday. Prices are reasonable, with most mains hitting the €15-€25 mark.

Evenings are social and warm. regulars and first-timers mix comfortably at the bar or at tables, and it's the kind of place where you can linger over a meal without feeling rushed. On weekends, the bar stays open until 4am.

Features

Gay Gay-friendly (straight venue) LGBTQ+ Food served Pub/Tavern Walk-ins welcome

Fun evening out with Art Crew. The Museum Mile, made our Met experience sensational. Outside we Jumped Double-Dutch, enjoyed yummy food vendors, creative costumes.

I've been going here all my life and it still thrills me. You can spend days here and not see everything, and there's truly something for everyone. For instance, when my kid was little, Arms and Armor and the mummies were the go-to. Now I have a grownup child who loves all of it -- paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, costumes, photography, prints, drawing, textiles, and on and on.

Can't do it in a few hours. There is so much to see and everything is more beautiful and interesting than the last. Art changes you.

I went on June 9th when admission was free due to the museums' long distance. I would definitely go back on a regular day because you can't see all the galleries in 3 hours, and if you go on those days, not all the galleries are open; they only give you a small preview of what you can see. Plus, it's incredibly crowded. It's definitely a visit I'll repeat.
