The show
Wordless Music Series with Times New Viking. June 27, free with museum admission.
BEFORE THE SHOW
Coco Pazzo (23 E 74th St at Madison Ave, 212-794-0205) may be expensive, but it’s right across the street—and it’s a lovely spot to enjoy a plate of finely prepared pasta and a glass of the house gavi. Not convenient enough for you? Grab a turkey club and a glass of vino at Sarabeth’s inside the museum.
AFTER THE SHOW
Skip the steaks at T-Bar Steak & Lounge (1278 Third Ave between 73rd and 74th Sts, 212-772-0404), and hit the lounge area for cocktails and dessert.
