Rihanna's Favorite Carbone After Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (after-party)
Met Gala · New York
Rihanna: The Ultimate Superfan Guide
Rihanna's go-to NYC table: A$AP Rocky shut down all of Carbone for her here, and she's been a regular since the rigatoni first dropped.
Carbone, the 1950s-themed Greenwich Village Italian on Thompson Street, has been Rihanna's most-photographed NYC dinner spot for years — she and partner A$AP Rocky are repeat customers, with A$AP famously celebrating his 35th birthday there on October 3, 2023 (Rihanna leaving the restaurant in a black cropped bomber was one of the most-circulated paparazzi sets of the fall). For her own 38th birthday, Rocky shut down 'her favorite restaurant' for the night. Carbone's celebrity-clientele list — DiCaprio, Bad Bunny, Drake, the Kardashians, Beyoncé and Jay-Z — makes it the surest celebrity sighting in lower Manhattan, especially during Met Gala week when stars descend on the Met Museum eight subway stops north.
