Sweet Home Café

Museum food isn’t great, but Sweet Home Cafe is. The Southern restaurant at the National Museum of African American History and Culture has a menu full of pulled pork sandwiches, collard greens and yams. It gets busy and wait times can grow up to 30 minutes at times, which is long for a museum cafe. But the cafeteria space serves great fried chicken and banana pudding. Skip the cold cut sandwiches, though.
