The rooftop garden of the Metropolitan Museum is the setting of artist Jeff Koons exhibition featuring three of his sculptures that have never been on display before. Since it’s warm out, what better way to celebrate than with some BBQ. Jimmy’s Bait Shack is known for their BBQ’d meats, smoked in house. The menu is all Southern favorites like po boys, catfish, fried chicken, along with burgers.
