Dining
GePaDe – my favorite breakfast and lunch place, across the museum entrance. You must try their cannoli and gelato. They serve pizza too.
Museum Cafe – the AIC lower level cafe offers healthy, tasty and convenient lunch options. Can get crowded in the summer.
Vapiano – across the Palmer House. Good pizza & pasta
