"The Frick Collection is undergoing a $160 million renovation and will open a new restaurant on the second floor of its reception hall this fall. This will be the first restaurant in the museum’s history. The museum will also feature 14 new bars, accessible only during special events and private gatherings. Previously, the Frick applied for one-day liquor licenses for special events, but now aims to permanently serve food and alcohol. The museum had to negotiate with Upper East Side residents to reduce the initial proposal of 17 bars to 14, with numerous restrictions imposed." - Luke Fortney
