Lonely Planet review

As much a sensory experience as the exhibits themselves, this fabulous cafeteria is tucked away in the Museum of the American Indian. An airy joint with booths as modern and curvy as the museum it resides in, it features five food stations each focusing on a different Native American region and its indigenous ingredients. Menus rotate daily. If in doubt, you generally can't go wrong with the South American station near the entrance.

With the crowds of lunch time tourists it can be a bit hard to figure out what is what.
