Museum Café
Our café, Westmoreland, is designed to enhance the experience of visitors to the Frick and is offered as an amenity for museum ticket holders and members.
Located on Floor 2 overlooking the restored 70th Street Garden, the café—a gift of the Margot and Jerry Bogert Family—features upscale seasonal American fare by executive chef Skyllar Hughes of Union Square Events. The menu is rounded out by a focused pastry program and art-inspired cocktails, mocktails, and European and American wines.

About the Café
The café takes its name from the Westmoreland, the private Pullman railway car of museum founder Henry Clay Frick. Frick purchased the car in 1910, naming it after the Pennsylvania county of his birth. The Frick family used the car to travel to their summer home in Massachusetts and for journeys across the United States. At 82 feet long (nearly the length of the museum’s West Gallery), the Westmoreland boasted a dining room, observation platform and lounge, two staterooms, as well as guest and staff quarters. Pullman cars were the last word in luxury transport in the early twentieth century. As one contemporary put it, “A private railroad car is not an acquired taste. One takes to it immediately.”
Designed by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio and anchored by a custom mural from artist Darren Waterston, the café space evokes its namesake—layering history, travel, and taste in a richly textured interior of walnut, floral accents, and deep, immersive tones.
About the Mural
Darren Waterston (b. 1965, California) has been exhibiting paintings, works on paper, and installations in the United States and abroad since the early 1990s. In 2025, The Frick Collection commissioned him to create a mural, along with decorative ceiling medallions, for its new café. In developing the site-specific work, Waterston drew inspiration from masterworks in the museum’s collection, including Bellini’s St. Francis in the Desert, Whistler’s Symphony in Grey and Green: The Ocean, and Corot’s Lake. He was similarly influenced by Japanese painting and the rich colors and textures of finishes throughout the Frick family home. The result is a striking two-part mural: Fugue, which envelops the café vestibule floor to ceiling, and Arcadia, which wraps frieze-like around the perimeter of the dining room.
