Museum of International Folk Art
Arrive at the Museum of International Folk Art as it opens. Spend an hour exploring the massive Girard exhibition of toys, nativity scenes, and textiles, or browse the local Hispanic art collection. The museum is open daily from 10AM in the summer months.

Walk two minutes to Museum Hill Cafe for a coffee or light snack. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 15:00, making it a perfect pitstop before heading downtown.
11:46
Take a 16-minute walk north to Amelia White Park. It is a quiet green space near the Plaza that offers a brief respite from the city bustle before your main meal.
12:01
Walk one minute to Plaza Cafe for lunch. This old standby is particularly recommended for lunch, though it can get crowded. It is open daily from 07:00 to 21:00.
