A culinary experience inspired by the great Viennese cafés of 20th century Austria.
A Modern Viennese Café
Café Sabarsky, which bears the name of Neue Galerie New York co-founder Serge Sabarsky, draws its inspiration from the great Viennese cafés that served as important centers of intellectual and artistic life at the turn of the century. It is outfitted with period objects, including lighting fixtures by Josef Hoffmann, furniture by Adolf Loos, and banquettes that are upholstered with a 1912 Otto Wagner fabric. A Bösendorfer grand piano graces one corner of the Café, and is used for all cabaret, chamber, and classical music performances at the museum.
Café Sabarsky is under the direction of Executive Chef Christopher Engel
