My family attended the Frick this Friday for a picnic while the grounds were open to the public. It was beautiful...we walked in and saw families scattered on the lawn with big picnic baskets. There were lawn toys set out for kids to play with, twinkle lights strung throughout the space and a cool mix of music playing on the speakers. Nobody greeted us, despite seeing several employees at the entrance. But we still enjoyed every bit of the evening. There were a few food trucks at the entrance, but we packed our own dinner instead. It's nice to have the option though. And another option is the on-site restaurant.
I'm looking forward to returning with a larger group for another Friday and hopefully for one of the First Friday's when there is live music.
