Westmoreland Café Makes its Debut Among the Art Masterpieces at The Frick Collection

A visit to a museum is always at the top of the list for anyone spending time in New York City, but among the endless list of options, such as the Met, MoMA, Whitney, and Morgan Library & Museum, a hidden gem on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is The Frick Collection. The Frick’s collection of 14th- to 19th-century European paintings is housed within a 1914 residence located at 1 East 70th Street. The museum that has welcomed visitors for nearly 90 years recently completed a $220 million renovation to better serve a twenty-first-century audience. As part of the project, the newly opened Westmoreland Café — a first for the museum, now sits among its collection of art masterpieces. Located on the mansion’s second floor and overlooking the 70th Street Garden, the Westmoreland’s interiors “were influenced by the museum’s three green spaces and historic finishes found throughout the building.” Designed by London and New York-based interior designer Bryan O’Sullivan Studio (BOSS), the café that is “named for the private Pullman railway car the Frick family use to travel between their homes and trips around the United States,” offers an added elegance to the museum’s “atmosphere of timeless beauty,” while extending the Frick experience beyond its galleries.
