Below are some recommendations for lunch on Wednesday, September 16th. 

Option #1: Longsworth Cafeteria
Join Bart Houlahan for lunch at the Longsworth Dining Hall. The group will get lunch and sit outside to eat and converse. Anyone is welcome, regardless if you joined Bart on a Tour of the Capitol. Expect a casual, cafeteria-style experience with lower prices.

Option #2: Sweet Home Café
Are you still at the National Museum of African American History & Culture? Head to the Sweet Home Café located in the museum for a special NOLA Kitchen Menu Celebrating America's 250th Anniversary. The menu celebrates African American cooking and the menu options can be found here.

Not currently at the museum but want to visit the Sweet Home Café? Make sure to reserve a Dine & Shop pass if you'd like to dine, but not visit the museum. 

Option #3: Compliments Only
After the community event at L’Occitane, or if you’ve just dropped your stuff at the hotel and want to grab some lunch, head over to Dupont Circle for a favorite spot: Compliments Only. You can find the menu here

Lunch is not provided by BLD, please pay for your own meal. 
Wednesday September 16, 2026 12:30pm - 1:30pm EDT
