I was to meet Rose in the lobby at 5:30 and got there 15 minutes early but she was already there with Jay & Steven. She had guest passes for us which was super nice since the entrance fee is $20. She led the 3 of us to the Woman's Photography exhibit while we waited for the others to join us.

I did get to wander around a bit looking at the different photos and then Robert & Mim showed up. At 6pm, we headed to the 5th floor where the Terrace 5 cafe is located. More casual and less expensive than the Modern restaurant, it was a perfect place for us to have dinner.
Mark, Howard, Peppi, Judy & Jay
We sat outside on the terrace and although the menu is very limited, I found it very satisfactory. They listed a "Winter Tasting Menu" which for $27 - you chose 2 "Savory" and 1 "Sweet" items. My 2 choices were the Organic deviled eggs with caviar and the Poached Maine Lobster & Shrimp salad with tarragon and lemon aioli served on a brioche For the "sweet" - Coffee Caramel Sundae coffee & vanilla ice creams pecan sponge cake, caramel, caramelized pecans.
I sat between Jay and Rick. Jay was my partner in crime in organizing our 25th reunion and I had a close friendship with him in high school. Rick, on the other hand, although I knew of him and recognized him, didn't know him well at all and so this made for a great opportunity to get to know him and it was really wonderful as it was with getting to know the others who sat around me.

We closed the museum!! It felt like "Night at the Museum" as we filed out of there but all of us having enjoyed another great night.
