Café Revamp: Meet the Design Team
If you have ever been to The Café at the Frick, you know that is small. It has served the Frick well for many years, but not as well as we would like. The pandemic-related closure was the perfect time to change that. Renovations are underway to better serve more of our members and visitors with increased counter seating, new outdoor tables, streamlined carryout service, and—eventually—indulgent afternoon tea and themed weekend dinners. We can't wait to welcome you back with expanded hours and offerings! Learn more about the team hard at work on The Café below.
