Is there a place to eat lunch at the National Archives that holds 36 students plus chaperones?
The small, on-site Charters Café holds 45 persons. Sharing the space with the general public makes it not ideal for large groups. Weather permitting, many groups enjoy sack lunches across the street in the National Gallery’s outdoor sculpture garden where there is seating by the fountain (during the winter it is an ice skating rink). Nearby venues that handle large groups are the cafeteria at the Natural History Museum and the food court at the Post Office Pavilion. Around 7th-9th streets are many local restaurants and street vendors.
