An exclusive look at the Met, the hardest reservation in America

This week on FYI Philly, we go behind the scenes of a newly polished architectural gem and a Philadelphia institution made brand new again. We'll take you to an exclusive tasting. And it's the hardest reservation in America. We'll show you how to get a seat at the table.

Plus a new exhibit, a new show and a new season, we round up some cultural offerings and spring is just around the corner; we get tips on creating the ultimate backyard retreat at the Philly Home & Garden Show.

The Met Philadelphia just reopened after a major multi-million dollar renovation.
