Flora Bar: A Seafood Break at the Met Breuer

[tw-divider]The Scoop[/tw-divider]

• Spice up your trip to the Met Breuer (The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s modern and contemporary space) at Flora Bar with seafood and vegetable dishes from restaurateur Thomas Carter and chef Ignacio Mattos (the team behind Estela and Café Altro Paradiso) 
• Get your full dose of museum exploration and then head to the 74-seat Flora Bar — open beyond museum hours with a separate entrance on 75th street — which combines the minimalistic design of Estela with a raw seafood-driven menu. Try the scallops with plum and nori, tuna tartare with toasted flax seeds, and oysters with Szechuan mignonette, and pair it with a glass a bubbly from the extensive wine list
• The Upper East Side museum needed some downtown zest and Flora Bar, a level below the sidewalk, brings modern and simple cuisine to the neighborhood in a relaxed and airy setting
