There are many areas you could go for lunch/coffee. Of course, you could enjoy a nice lunch at the Museum's Café on the Park featuring hot and cold options with a terrace facing Walnut Hill Park. You can bring a picnic lunch and have it in the park, which is right next to the Museum. You would have to bring a blanket as there are no picnic tables out there. Or you can visit the Little Poland area of New Britain, which has a variety of delicious Polish restaurants, there is a wonderful Vietnamese place called Mae Kong's that is downtown, and we have one of the few Italian delis almost across the street called Angelo's. The Museum's Front Desk has a list of all the places nearby that you can eat at. I hope you enjoy!
